A hush descended over the expectant crowds — 18,000 were watching in front of the Palace, and another 250,000 on screens in St James Park and The Mall — as Charles took the microphone to speak.
隨后，熱切期待的人群安靜下來(lái)，查爾斯走到話(huà)筒前開(kāi)始講話(huà)。有1.8萬(wàn)人在白金漢宮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀看，還有25萬(wàn)人聚集在圣詹姆斯公園和林蔭大道上觀看。
"Your Majesty, Mummy," he began, drawing a huge smile from the monarch, who looked visibly moved.

這時(shí)民眾開(kāi)始高呼：“菲利普，菲利普，菲利普。”
Charles continued: "You Majesty, a Diamond Jubilee is a huge event and some of us have had the pleasure of celebrating three Jubilees with you — I have the medals to prove it."

"I was only three when my grandfather King George VI died. You were only 26 when you were given such a huge responsibility.
“國(guó)王喬治六世去世時(shí)，我只有三歲，當(dāng)您擔(dān)起重任時(shí)也只有26歲。”
