The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are celebrating the Queen with a social media post thanking her for “inspiring a nation”.

“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”, they added.

The post shared on Instagram show images of the 95-year-old head of state across her reign, including a photo of Prince William and Kate with the Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019 and Prince Charles kissing the Queen’s hand at a polo match in 1988.
