British king pays tribute to 'darling mama' on late queen's 100th birthday

Britain's King Charles on Tuesday paid a heartfelt tribute to his mother, the late queen Elizabeth II in a video message on what would have been her 100th birthday.

The king's moving homage came as the final masterplan for the memorial for the nation's longest serving monarch was unveiled. Referring to Elizabeth as "darling mama", Charles, 77, said she had "remained constant, steadfast and wholly devoted to the people she served" throughout her long life. The monarch died aged 96 in September 2022 after a 70-year reign.
