Recently Queen Elizabeth directed remarkable progress that has been made in the fight against the COVID-19 and the need for unity during the trying times in her Commonwealth Day address, just a few hours before Oprah Winfrey’s impending interview with Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan.

The interview is scheduled to air on Sunday evening in Canada and on Monday in the U.K. However her holiday speech made no mention of the interview or of her husband, Prince Philip, who was recently transferred out of a cardiac hospital to a private facility on Friday after completing a successful heart procedure.

However, the Queen did commend the stirring examples of courage, commitment, and selfless dedication that were demonstrated during the ongoing pandemic, lauding the front-line workers for their public services. She said that they have also taken encouragement from the remarkable advances that have been made in developing vaccines and new treatments. This year’s Commonwealth Day will come in several weeks after the British Government announced that it would begin amping up the COVID-19 vaccinations to give every adult their first dose by July 31 which is one month earlier than its previous target.

To date, 22213112 people in the UK, have already received their first dose of either the Pfizer-BioNtech or the AstraZeneca vaccines and according to the UK government’s latest data, the country’s population is just under 67 million, with people aged 65 years and up accounting to about 12.4 million of Britain’s population.

The numbers are good for Britons, many of whom have been reporting feelings of intense loneliness as the UK looks to cautiously but irreversibly move out of lockdown and allow the children to return to school this month.

The Queen also focused on new emerging technologies that have made it much easier to connect with friends and loved ones online and has remarked on the unusual experience of this year.

She further added that in everyday lives, everyone has become more accustomed to connecting and communicating via innovative technology which has so far been new to many, and with the communal gatherings, conversations, including the Commonwealth meetings, conducted online, enabling the people to stay in touch with friends, colleagues, family, and counterparts, who have so far not been able to meet in person.
