THE Queen has called on the country to “seek out the common ground” in what is thought to be a veiled reference to Brexit.
Speaking at the Sandringham Women’s Institute, where she is president, the Queen also urged people to “respect other views” and “not to lose sight of the bigger picture”.
“Reflecting on a century of change, it is clear that the qualities of the Women’s Institute to endure, the continued emphasis on patience, friendship, a strong community focus, and considering the needs of others, are as important today as when the group was founded.”
“As we look for new answers in the modern age, I for one prefer the tried and tested recipes, like speaking well of each other and respecting different points of view; coming together to seek out the common ground; and never losing sight of the bigger picture”, said the Queen.
“These approaches are timeless, and I commend them to everyone.”
The Sun, reports the this speech comes in a scenario where the British Parliament remains split on the way forward. In fact, Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg yesterday suggested the monarch may be forced to suspend Parliament to make sure Britain leaves the EU.
The Queen is publicly neutral on politics.
In her Christmas address the Queen touched on what was assumed to be Brexit, saying: “Even with the most deeply-held differences, treating the other person with respect and as a fellow human being is always a good first step towards greater understanding.”
Buckingham Palace said last night: “The Queen’s words speak for themselves.”
