Queen’s WWIII Speech Revealed by Britain’s National Archives

The Queen’s WWIII speech was recently released by the National Archives in Britain, under the 30-year rule. The 320-page speech was written in 1983 during a secret Whitehall exercise.

Part of the speech, as published by BBC, said “Our brave country must again prepare itself to survive against great odds. I have never forgotten the sorrow and pride I felt as my sister and I huddled around the nursery wireless set listening to my father’s inspiring words on that fateful day in 1939. Not for a single moment did I imagine that this solemn and awful duty would one day fall to me.”

“My beloved son Andrew is at this moment in action with his unit and we pray continually for his safety and for the safety of all servicemen and women at home and overseas. It is this close bond of family life that must be our greatest defense against the unknown.”

“The horrors of war could not have seemed more remote as my family and I shared our Christmas joy with the growing family of the Commonwealth.”

“Now, this madness of war is once more spreading through the world and our brave country must again prepare itself to survive against great odds.

“I have never forgotten the sorrow and the pride I felt as my sister and I huddled around the nursery wireless set listening to my father’s [George VI’s] inspiring words on that fateful day in 1939 [at the start of the World War II].

“Not for a single moment did I imagine that this solemn and awful duty would one day fall to me.”

“But whatever terrors lie in wait for us all, the qualities that have helped to keep our freedom intact twice already during this sad century will once more be our strength.”

The Queen’s WWIII speech ended with: “As we strive together to fight off this new evil, let us pray for our country and men of goodwill wherever they may be. God bless you all.”
