LONDON: Queen Elizabeth II is a long and longest old English king.
But don’t call it Oldie.
The 95-year-old queen has politely reject the honor named “Oldie of the Year” by the UK magazine, said he did not meet the “relevant criteria.” The Oldie Magazine on Tuesday issued a Queen’s response to his advice that he followed in the footsteps of the former recipient, including former Prime Minister John Major, Actor Olivia de Havilland and artist David Hockney.
“Your Majesty believes you are as old as you feel, because the Queen does not believe he meets the relevant criteria to be able to accept, and hope you will find a more feasible recipient,” a letter from the Assistant Private Secretary, Tom Laing-Baker.
He ended the letter “with the best hope of His noble warm.” Ratu, the widow of this year, still made a busy royal task schedule.
On Tuesday he held a hearing with diplomats and hosted the reception at Windsor Castle for global business leaders.
The Oldie of the Year Prize Respects people from old age who have contributed specifically to public life.
Queen’s husband Prince Philip, who died in April, received an award in 2011, when he was 90 years old.
After the Queen was rejected, the Oldie of the Year Award went to the Royalty film instead: French-American actress and Dancer Leslie Caron, 90.
