In recent months, the magazine's management addressed sovereignty through court channels to ask if she was willing to accept the prize.
But in response, aired on 21 August by the Scottish royal residence of Balmoral, through a communication entrusted to her private secretary, Tom Laing Backer, George VI's daughter, announced that this was not the case. Her Majesty believes that when a person feels that way, we read in Laing-Baker's letter published today.
Hence, the Queen, who has spent nearly 70 years on the throne, does not believe that it meets the “criteria envisioned for receiving a prize and hopes to find a more suitable recipient”.
The recipient identified at the bottom by the magazine is the famous French-American artist of Hollywood cinema, Leslie Caron, who is 90, five short of Queen Elizabeth.
