Queen gives the most touching toast to son Prince Charles on his 70th birthday
The Queen also praised her son's dedication towards saving the environment and raising a family in her thoughtful birthday toast
Prince Charles definitely celebrated his birthday with an incredible bash, and he was also surprised by an emotional toast from his mother, the Queen. The monarch reportedly gave a very sweet speech on her eldest son's birthday, praising him and noting that she was honored to be there to experience the milestone.
In her delightful speech for her son and heir to the throne, the Queen said at the Buckingham Palace birthday bash, "It is a privilege for any mother to be able to propose a toast to her son on his 70th birthday." She continued, "It means that you have lived long enough to see your child grow up. It is rather like — to use an analogy I am certain will find favor — planting a tree and being able to watch it grow."
