The mother-of-four also spoke about celebrating her birthday amid a global pandemic, saying: "Like so many families, we were grateful to be together, but also heartbroken to see the pain and loss this virus has inflicted on so many around the world."
The queen added: "On my birthday, as long as the people I love are nearby, and they are healthy and safe, I could not possibly ask for more."
