Today, you, Your Majesty, are the most distinguished Monarch and the most powerful and influential Queen.

Your incumbency is an entire epoch, which strengthened your country over the years, particularly in difficult times, and played an indelible part in the history of your kingdom.

I pray to God that He might grant you many more years of life and further success to your royal family,” the Catholics Patriarch stated.
