PRINCE William and Kate today hailed the “extraordinary” Queen to mark International Women’s Day.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a touching family snap as they honoured the “inspirational” monarch, who is this year celebrating 70 years on the throne.
In a post on Instagram, the couple said: “In this very special Platinum Jubilee year, we celebrate Her Majesty The Queen and her historic 70 years of service on #IWD2022.
“Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and Head of State, the Queen’s extraordinary reign has been longer than any other monarch in British history – inspiring a nation and dedicating her life to the service of the Commonwealth and its people.”
The royals also shared a series of other photos, including one of Her Majesty with the future Queen Camilla.
Others saw her grinning with son Prince Charles and with her famous red despatch box, which she address daily.
International Women’s Day, or IWD for short, celebrates the achievements of women around the globe.
It has been marked on March 8 every year for more than a century and each year has a different theme.
For 2022, this is ‘Break the Bias’ which urges everyone to call out gender bias and inequality.
