in an article from Daily Mail, A senior Buckingham Palace courtier has revealed why the late Queen was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize during her lifetime.

It’s still a mystery. Why was Queen Elizabeth II not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her contribution to the expansion of the Commonwealth, which she served for 70 years? It could be that the main stakeholder simply declined the honor. This is stated in an article published on the British media website on November 12 Daily Mail:.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually to the (living) person who “has contributed the most or best to the rapprochement of peoples, to the suppression or reduction of standing armies, to the gathering and spreading of progress for peace.” Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama, among others, have been winners.

“Thanks, but no thanks”

Elizabeth II was especially expected to receive the award in 2018. In April of that year, the Telegraph even published an article: “Queen should win Nobel Peace Prize, say Commonwealth ministers and personalities”. The main political journalist noted that this topic will be discussed at the upcoming meeting of the heads of the governments of the Commonwealth of Nations. “In 60 years, if the Queen’s determined diplomacy to keep the Commonwealth alive and running doesn’t earn her a Nobel Prize, it’s hard to think what anyone will,” he said.

So why didn’t he get it? According to a senior courtier, the Queen would not be interested, reports The Daily Mail:. “Although applicants for the award are not required to be consulted, Buckingham Palace has been approached several times by Commonwealth leaders for ‘advice’ on Her Majesty’s nomination, we learn in the article. We politely replied. “Thanks, but no thanks.” A new proof of humility and modesty, which Elizabeth II regularly displayed during her lifetime.
