Her speech marks the first time a monarch addresses its people in a time of national crisis ever since World War II, when her father King George VI spoke to the nation over 70 years ago. A palace source, according to the Mirror, said that her speech will be "a deeply personal message from Her Majesty reflecting her experience in other difficult times".

The Queen's speech in a "time of disruption"

In what could very well be the most watched and listened-to broadcast in British history, the Queen will reportedly say the following: "I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time. A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all."

"I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country."

According to sources, the monarch will also be paying a special tribute to all NHS doctors, the nurses and other medical staff as well as everyone in essential roles such as shop workers and delivery drivers.
