Queen Elizabeth II Address to Congress (1991)
Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain addressed a joint meeting of Congress during her 13-day visit to the United States, her first trip to the U.S. since 1976. The Queen discussed “the spirit of democracy” that is shared by the U.S. and Great Britain and mentioned several instances during the 20th century in which the U.S. and Great Britain fought for the same cause, calling for the two countries to continue to fight for common values through the “social instrument” of the United Nations.

This woman earned respect throughout the world not merely because she was a queen, but because she greatly recognized the serious problems of the changing world, the horrible costs of war, and the wisdom to spearhead a future of peace while working to correct the horrible history which preceded her reign. World leaders sought her sage advice and guidance while she never took a political side whatsoever.
Crazy to imagine how 200 years later, a British Monarch would be addressing in the congress that the founding fathers fought so hard to achieve.

I think they’d be happy to see it. From their perspective, they wanted to meet Britain in the middle and negotiate. But hands were forced. But there was still even then an affinity for Britain, juxtaposed with wanting to be independent. I think how our countries bonded would make them happy in the end.

@@petonchiospataponchio366 No she didn’t. She made these remarks during her annual Christmas Day broadcast in 1957, from Sandringham Norfolk. The part where she says “these old islands” is probably a useful clue that’s she isn’t in South Africa. It was Margaret Thatcher that tried to cosy up to the white government in South Africa, and Elizabeth II who stretched the boundaries of impartiality, more than she did at any other time, to pressure Thatcher into not going against the rest of the Commonwealth and their condemnation of the apartheid government.
For those commenting on the raucous applause -- I think the historical context for it has been forgotten. The Queen started the speech with an ad lib joke, delivered with perfect dead-pan dry British comedic timing, which caught everyone off guard. A day or two earlier she was welcomed to Washington with a ceremony on the White House lawn. She wore a tailored purple suit topped with a matching wide brimmed hat, trimmed in white. President Bush (the first), much taller then she was, spoke at the podium first. He was supposed to press a pedal with his foot when he finished, to adjust the podium electrically to her height. He forgot. So she read her remarks with only the big purple hat visible. The press and late night comedians had a field day with this. Front page news. Dubbed "The Talking Hat" 😁. So here she took the opportunity to make light of all the hullabaloo in a very dignified, droll, and self-deprecating manner. No one expected this -- look at the faces of the audience smiling and laughing! The American and British press went even wilder over this than the hat incident itself!

The day she turned 21, she gave a speech to the people of the United Kingdom saying that no matter how short or long her life would be, she would serve her country or her family. The day her father died, she became Queen of the United Kingdom. Until the last time, she was 95 years old, opening a parliamentary session and her final mission was appointing the Prime Minister at Balmerol Castle. She deserves to be honored, praised, and respected by everyone around the world.

If you believe that her life's work was in service to preserving DEMOCRACY then the word 'irony' can be retired now and forever. This woman's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world that a profoundly unnecessary institution, which exists only to enrich itself and empower itself in spite of its subjects, was necessary in preserving British political sovereignty. In reality, every major country that has cast off their monarchy has been just fine and often times much better without having to prop up rich do nothings who declare self importance because of the family they were born into. The Queens #1 job has been to make the monarchy look good so everyone will allow them to keep living lavishly with servants and subjects and world leaders worshipping the ground they walk on. What other function does the monarchy have except to go around the world to convince everyone that they are still important? Would we tolerate this behavior from a corporation? Would you tolerate a neighbor who took a bit of your money and everyone else's in the neighborhood and lived in the nicest house and didn't work a job and made you and everyone else call them the leader? Why are we ok with it happening on a much larger scale?

I don't have access to the verbatim text of speeches made by Queen Elizabeth II, and my knowledge is limited to what was publicly available up until September 2021. However, I can provide some context regarding Queen Elizabeth II's address to the U.S. Congress in 1991. On May 16, 1991, Queen Elizabeth II delivered an address to a joint session of the United States Congress during her state visit to the United States. This address was a significant diplomatic and ceremonial event, and it highlighted the close and enduring relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. In her speech, Queen Elizabeth II expressed gratitude for the warm welcome she and her husband, Prince Philip, received during their visit. She also emphasized the shared values and history between the two nations and touched on global challenges, such as the Gulf War and the importance of democracy and freedom. The address was well-received and underscored the special bond between the United States and the United Kingdom. While I can't provide the exact wording of the speech, you may be able to find the full text in official archives or historical records related to the event.
Wonderful Speech. Still relevant after 31 years.
Funny as an American I never thought I would miss the Queen like this. After watching this speech how can you not nowadays. Those saner more level headed times feel so close in our past yet so far from our future as things currently stand now.

The mutual respect and appreciation shown in this event is remarkable.. The Queen: breathesCongress: .
There is love afforded a person for life lived nobly. There is love appropriate to afford a woman for beauty and grace. Finally, there is the love of one's Country. In Queen Elizabeth II, we saw one life which epitomized the personification of all three. Long may she reign - even from beyond the grave - in our memory, in our hearts, and in the legacy of Nations.
She spoke with eloquence And everybody loved listening to her. She will be missed RIP
What am incredible historic figure, there will never be another like her. Rest In Peace.
She was born to be Queen one of the most impressive figures of our time full stop.

and if she had a different look, and the royal family was of a different family under a different name, you'd be saying the exact same thing
The last great respected leader. She was loved in this country (United States) which prides itself on its independence because she didn’t just say. She did. She was steadfast and brought stability to unstable times. She was devoted to service of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the people of the world. In return, she won our respect and dare say love. She may not have been our head of state but Queen Elizabeth ll was the first and only real monarch that us Americans knew in our lives for multiple generations. She was the first monarch that dared to reach out to the people of this former colony to build a bond and friendship. It still feels sad that she is no longer here.
So graceful ,majestic, disciplined, lovable..Incomparable. Let her soul rest in peace.

She wasn't just 'our queen' here in the UK , she was THE Queen. I'm not looking forward to the funeral tomorrow but it deeply touches me to see the global outpouring of sadness and respect for this amazing woman. The last of her kind, where decency, duty, integrity and Professionalism actually meant something and was delivered continuously. Our Prime Ministers don't last for 70 weeks these days. The Queen surpassed 70 years Mush respect your majesty, for your loyal service to our country ❤️

I doubt the Federalists would mind. The pro-French Republicans of the day, lead by Jefferson, would be aghast. But they would all likely understand that in the long run of two centuries that America and Britain would become friends in a hostile world still ruled by force instead of the rights of free peoples. Washington himself in 1775 lead his officers in toasts to England and the rights the mother country passed to these shores, and on Evacuation Day lead thirteen toasts. The first was to the United States of America and the second was to His Majesty, George III, ahead of the fleets and armies of France, who were number six.

One good thing about the internet is we can still see and hear it. Well until A1 comes along and rewrites and re-produces it.
It would've been hilarious if she started with "I love what you've done with the place".
I am proud of being an Indian and proud of our democracy. Because till date it has not happened here that a monarchy comes and addresses our Parliament.🤨 🙏Dhanyawaad 🙏 Jai INDIA, JAI BHARATAM 🙏

hi good morning uk ahead of state. i would like to say have a nice day. may all god blessing forever.
The respect everyone had for her is amazing we were at war with the UK not long ago only 216 years ago now 31 years ago we have a royal monarch addressing congress imagine being 65 and living for 31 more years it’s amazing they even cut off her speech to give her a standing ovation lol and not only that the fact she lived for 96 of thoes years and rained for 70 of them is incredible we will probably never see anything like this again potentially in history definitely not in our lifetime
