For the very first time, the east wing where Buckingham Palace’s historic balcony is located is being open to the public. The world has seen members of the British royal family step onto the iconic location for nearly 200 years. NBC’s Meagan Fitzgerald reports for TODAY.
A new statue of Queen Elizabeth II is facing backlash, with some calling the effort to depict her a royal misfire. The bronze statue of the late queen was unveiled Sept. 6 in Northern Ireland, nearly two years after her death. It is one of the first of its kind in the U.K. and was created to commemorate the late monarch, according to the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council. The sculpture was crafted by local artist Anto Brennan and is displayed at Antrim Castle Gardens in Antrim.
“Melt it down and start again with a different sculptor,” an X user demanded. In the comments section of a Facebook post by Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough, users debated whether the sculpture was fit for the queen. In a statement to Sky News, the council acknowledged the criticism but said it had received positive feedback.
