Before demise, Lewis Hamilton sent an emotional note to Queen Elizabeth II. Read details

Lewis Hamilton sent a personal emotional note to the Queen when the world waited with bated breath for some good news before her passing.

Hamilton, who is participating in the Italian Grand Prix, spoke at a conference before the race and said he was concerned for the royal family. He was praying and expecting some positive news about her well-being. He was delighted to have been a part of her reign, and she was a strong leader, who served her nation well, he said.




Queen Elizabeth II breathed her last on Thursday afternoon due to declining health. On Tuesday, she had been busy the whole day receiving Liz Truss and carrying out her appointment as the Prime Minister. Her doctors advised complete rest on Wednesday due to her busy schedule the previous day. This was after Buckingham Palace sent out a message in the morning confirming that the Queen is well but is advised to remain under medical supervision. The family rushed to Balmoral, Scotland, to be with the monarch in her final hours on Thursday. The Royal Family confirmed the news of the late Queen, and the nation hung on to the tragic news.

Hamilton was given a knighthood in 2021, which King Charles III conducted. Hamilton was conferred an MBE, which means Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, the 3rd highest honour of the British Empire, in 2009. He was also invited to have lunch with the Queen, where the veteran driver was informed about some table manners, media reports said. The race driver was thrilled when he sat next to her. Being with the Queen, he started talking to her, and the Queen told him to stop. The Queen said Hamilton should be looking the other way and speaking, and she would speak in the same way, the reports said.
