| Queen Elizabeth II is hailed Common Sense Queen by Prime Minister David Cameron |
Prime Minister David Cameron has nothing but deep admiration
and respect to the lady he’d love to call the “common sense Queen.”
“My weekly hour with the Queen is vital because I get to
draw on all those qualities: Her knowledge; her commitment; her time-tested
wisdom,” shares Cameron about his weekly meeting with the monarch.
“Above all she has an abundance of what I’d call “great
British common sense” – the ability to cut through the fuss and see what really
matters. That is invaluable to me, as I’m sure it was to the other 11 Prime
Ministers she has worked with.
“Against all the noise and combat that is British politics,
this is a quiet hour to take stock with someone who understands the broad sweep
of events; who after 60 years at the heart of our national life knows politics
may swing this way and that, but for whom certain values and ideals remain
deeply important.’ Cameron continues: ‘Over six decades we’ve passed through
the jet age, space age and digital age; seen numerous armed conflicts and
countless social movements – but constant throughout it all has been the
service of our Queen.
“She promised to give her heart and her devotion “to these
old islands”, and that promise she has kept beyond question.
“My audiences with the Queen have revealed many more of her
qualities. She has a vast, intricate knowledge of foreign affairs. If there’s
an event in a far-off country – whether an election, a coup or a riot – I can
guarantee that Her Majesty will not just know about it, but have chapter and
verse on it.”
Cameron’s heartfelt tribute will be published in the Diamond
Jubilee Opus, a luxury book that depicts each decade in Queen Elizabeth II’s
reign. In it, he talks about his audiences with the Queen, who he meets one
hour every week. The book features 800 pages of never-before-seen images and
commentary on the Queen’s coronation, fashion sense, private life, and her
relationship with the Commonwealth.
