Yet, despite the difficulties, Ursula is managing to manage everything by declaring V-Day on December 27 (much earlier than expected), or the day in which anti-Covid vaccinations began throughout Europe.

Always on the crest of the wave, back in vogue more than ever thanks to the successful Netflix series "The Crown" which tells the story of the Royal Family from the ascent to the throne of Elizabeth to today, the queen who has 94 springs, enjoys excellent health and it is she who reassures the English people during these hard months, further tested by a last wave of particularly contagious Coronavirus.
