Royal Family Plans Memorial for Queen Elizabeth II's 100th Birthday
The British royal family is commemorating what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday by unveiling plans for a new charity and memorial in central London. The late queen, who passed away nearly four years ago at the age of 96, will be honored through several events. King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to visit the British Museum to view designs for the memorial, while Princess Anne will open the Queen Elizabeth II Garden in Regent's Park. The memorial will feature a translucent glass 'unity' bridge and statues of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, inspired by a famous portrait by Pietro Annigoni. Additionally, a digital memorial will allow people worldwide to reflect on their memories of the queen. A new charity, The Queen Elizabeth Trust, will be established with a £40 million endowment to support community centers and green spaces.
