Prince Charles and Prince William each took the stage Saturday at the star-studded “Platinum Party” at Buckingham Palace and paid tribute to the weekend’s distinguished honouree, Queen Elizabeth II.

Charles began his speech with, “Your Majesty, Mummy” before thinking her for her “lifetime of selfless service.” He added, “Your family now spans four generations.

You are our Head of State. And you are also our mother.” Charles, 73, also brought up his late father, Prince Philip, in his speech. “My Papa would have enjoyed the show and joined us wholeheartedly in celebrating all you continue to do for your country and your people,” he said. “Looking back, we think of the countless State occasions that are milestones along this nation’s road.

And you will think of red boxes, filled with Government papers, at the end of the day. You will remember those who have led this country.
