Warm and sincere Independence Day wishes from His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen are deeply moving and exceptionally meaningful. I am grateful for the emphasis on Ukraine’s history, rich culture, and unyielding national spirit, as well as the resilience of the Ukrainian people, who continue to defend their homeland and uphold the values that define our state. The steadfast friendship between Ukraine and the United Kingdom remains an invaluable wellspring of strength for our nation. We are sincerely grateful for the constant solidarity shown by the British people. Our special bond is built upon our shared commitment to freedom, democracy, and justice. I wish His Majesty good health and continued success, as well as peace and prosperity for the United Kingdom and its people.
