Queen Elizabeth appeared in an unprecedented self-deprecating guise in a Zoom connection with Australia on the occasion of the inauguration of a life-size statue of her.
"It's a little scary to see her out of the window like that. Some might think, good heavens! She came suddenly", joked the sovereign, commenting on the bronze sculpture found in Adelaide's parliament square.
The connection with State Governor Hieu Van Le, Premier Steven Marshall and the author of the statue Robert Hannaford is from February 24, when his consort Prince Philip had already been hospitalized, but the Australian media only published it today in the version provided by Buckingham Palace, points out the Sydney Morning Herald, in which the Duke of Edinburgh is not mentioned.
The sculptor also virtually donated a scale model of the sculptor to the sovereign. "How nice! Luckily it's not as big as the other one," joked the British sovereign.
