Queen Commonwealth Day message IN FULL: Queen's call for unity amid Megxit heartbreak

THE QUEEN has called for unity and hailed tradition in her Commonwealth Day message as the Royal Family marks the end of an era amid the step back of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.The Queen has issued a message to mark Commonwealth Day on March 9, in which highlighted how global connectivity makes people aware their "choices and actions" can affect the "well-being of people and communities living far away".She also praised the diversity of the family of nations whose blend of traditions "serves to make us stronger".


The Queen's words will be printed in the order of service accompanying the Commonwealth Day service on Monday at Westminster Abbey, attended by the Queen and senior members of the royal family.This service will mark Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's final engagement as working royals before they step back from The Firm.Harry and Meghan have been carrying out a string of final public appearances over the past few days.And their decision was likely in the Queen's mind as she calls for unity in her message."On Commonwealth occasions, it is always inspiring to be reminded of the diversity of the people and countries that make up our worldwide family."We are made aware of the many associations and influences that combine through Commonwealth connection, helping us to imagine and deliver a common future."This is particularly striking when we see people from nations, large and small, gathering for the Commonwealth Games, for meetings of Commonwealth governments, and on Commonwealth Day."Such a blend of traditions serves to make us stronger, individually and collectively, by providing the ingredients needed for social, political and economic resilience."Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to see and hear how membership of the Commonwealth family means so much to those living in all parts of the world, often in places that are quite remote."Advances in technology and modern media have now enabled many more people to witness and enjoy - with remarkable immediacy - this experience of Commonwealth connection, in areas such as education, medicine and conservation."Looking to the future, this connectivity means we are also aware, perhaps as never before, that wherever we live, our choices and actions affect the well-being of people and communities



living far away, and in very different circumstances."For many, this awareness awakens a desire to employ our planet's natural resources with greater care, and it is encouraging to see how the countries of the Commonwealth continue to devise new ways of working together to achieve prosperity, whilst protecting our planet."As members of this very special community, on this Commonwealth Day, I hope that the people and countries of the Commonwealth will be inspired by all that we share, and move forward with fresh resolve to enhance the Commonwealth's influence for good in our world.".

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
