UCharles Michel uthe kwingxelo yakhe malunga noKumkanikazi uElizabeth II: "Ukuphefumlelwa kwakhe kudlule kwizizukulwana". Nantsi ingxelo epheleleyo:
Sikhumbula ibhinqa elibalaseleyo namhlanje. Umntu omangalisayo. Oye wathwala uxanduva olukhulu kule minyaka ingama-70 idlulileyo. Ukuphefumlelwa kwakhe kudlulele kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. Kwaye yachukumisa ubomi babaninzi.
Ngelixa sonke sizilile ukusweleka kukaKumkanikazi uElizabeth weSibini, sikwathathela ingqalelo ulawulo lwakhe. Ishiye ilifa njengabanye abambalwa kwimbali yaseYurophu neyehlabathi. Ukusuka kwiminyaka yezidubedube yeMfazwe yoMlomo ukuya kutsho kwixesha lehlabathi jikelele lenkulungwane yama-21.
Kwabaninzi, wayeyi-ankile yozinzo kwihlabathi eliguquka ngokukhawuleza. Wayekhe wabizwa ngokuba “nguElizabeth oZinzileyo”. Ngokwenene wayeyinkokeli elumkileyo engazange isilele ukusibonisa ukubaluleka kwemilinganiselo ehlala ihleli kweli hlabathi lanamhlanje-imilinganiselo efana nenkonzo, ukuzibophelela kunye nesithethe.
Wakha wathi: "Intlungu lixabiso esilihlawulayo ngenxa yothando". Wayehlonelwa, exatyiswa yaye ethandwa ngokunyanisekileyo ngabaninzi ehlabathini lonke. Iingcamango zethu, okokuqala, kunye noKumkani kunye nosapho lwasebukhosini, kunye nabantu base-United Kingdom, kunye ne-Commonwealth.
Kuthi kwiManyano yaseYurophu, ulawulo lwakhe lugubungela phantse i-arc epheleleyo yokudityaniswa kwaseYurophu emva kwemfazwe. Siya kuhlala silikhumbula igalelo lakhe kuxolelwaniso phakathi kwezizwe zethu emva kweMfazwe yeHlabathi yesiBini kunye neMfazwe yoMlomo. Wayefumene umonakalo weMfazwe Yehlabathi II kwaye wayekwazi ukubaluleka kokuthembana kunye nentsebenziswano phakathi kwamazwe ethu.
Uninzi lweenkokeli zethu zaseYurophu ezidlulileyo kunye nezangoku zifumene ububele bakhe obufudumeleyo. Ndenjenjalo ngezihlandlo eziliqela.
Siza kwenza indima yethu ukuqhubeka nelifa lakhe. Ilifa lakhe elikhethekileyo lokwakha iibhulorho nokwakha ukuthembana phakathi kwezizwe.
