Revealing The Plaque
Finally, the prince finished his speech by saying, “Ladies and gentlemen, as the wonders of modern technology can only do so much and I can’t quite reach, perhaps I could invite Nightingale’s head of nursing Natalie Gray on my behalf to unveil the plaque to declare NHS Nightingale Hospital open.” The plaque was finally shown and it was greeted with a warm applause. It really was a momentous event, and one that’s probably going to be remembered.
Positive Reception
Charles’ words were mostly positively received. One viewer took to Twitter to write their reply to the address of the prince. “Listening to his speech, [he] came across as king in waiting. I sincerely hope this isn’t for many years, but when that day arrives, we will have a most worldly, wise, experienced, qualified king in our midst, and we should be grateful for this in years to come,” said the Twitter user.
