MR's British & Canadian Courts: When Her Majesty speaks in French

Britain
While being in the warmth and comfort of her duvet at Sandringham castle in Norfolk where she is recovering from a "big cold", Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was no less present on social networks. After her annual traditional Christmas message, Buckingham Palace broadcast this New Years Day on their official Facebook page and the official Twitter account, a video of greetings for the new year. In this short film of nearly two minutes, the Sovereign addresses her message exclusively to Canadians on the occasion of the starting of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the Canadian Confederation which will be celebrated althrough out 2017. If the monarch begins and finishes her speech in English, A few sentences were said in a perfect French accented with a slight accent. And I most say I detect a very good French Canadian accent


No doubt this message was recorded on the same day as that of the Christmas message when Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute to the "ordinary heroes." In the same setting at the Regency Room in Buckingham Palace decorated with a Christmas tree and white and red bouquets - the 90 year old Monarch wore the same turquoise blue dress.



Her Majesty appeared with the same white pearl necklace. However, she changed her brooch to that of the Maple Leaf Crystal. A delicate gesture towards Canadians as the Maple Leaf is their national leaf and emblem



This jewel, which was recently seen on the Duchess of Cambridge, was adorned three times during The Cambridges visit to Canada last fall with her husband Prince William and their two children,  is dated back to 1939 a gift given by King George VI  to his wife the queen consort Elizabeth as a prelude to their journey to Canada, the first of a British sovereign to his Canada subjects

The British and Canadian Royal Courts: The new host to Invictus Games #InvictusGames @InvictusToronto

british royal family
I started my day with the biggest hurray ever. There have been rumors of Prince Harry coming to Canada in 2017 for 150 anniversary of the Confederation have finally been true. The 31 year old Prince revealed in a video that he will be bringing the international sports competition for wounded troops Invictus Games who is being held this year in Orlando Florida will be held in the Great White North city of Toronto next year.

"I am absolutely delighted to announce that the Invictus legacy will continue when Toronto hosts the third Invictus Games," Harry said in a video statement issued Wednesday.

"It's also the year when Canada will commemorate its 150th anniversary of Confederation. I can't think of a better way to mark this milestone than by paying tribute to the soldiers and veterans who have served their country so bravely and to support them along their journey to recovery."

The Invictus Games is a sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick troops and includes both current and veteran members of the forces. It aims to use sport to inspire recovery and draw awareness to the physical and psychological injuries suffered by service members.
Harry founded the games after a 2013 visit to the U.S.-based Warrior Games, a domestic sporting competition for ill and injured American service members and veterans. Looking to establish an expanded version of those games, Harry set up the Invictus Games, named after the Latin word for unconquered.
The games were first held in London in 2014 and involved more than 400 competitors from 13 countries.
The Toronto games, set for September 2017, will feature more competitors and more sports than the event has had before, Harry said.

"It will even involve competing on ice, because this is Canada after all," he said.
Bruno Guevremont, captain of Team Canada for the upcoming games, said taking part in the event in Canada will mean a great deal.
"Competing in the Invictus Games on home soil will provide me and my fellow military competitors with the pride and confidence needed to push our minds and bodies beyond what we thought was possible -- to represent our country shoulder-to-shoulder, as we once did."
According to the Foundation, Toronto won the rights to the 2017 event because it demonstrated "a real understanding of the core concept and vision" of the games. It also noted that the city recently hosted the 2015 Pan Am and Parapan Am Games.
