Euronews correspondent Vincent McAviney told Good Morning Europe there was “no doubt” she was referring to Brexit in her comments.

Britian's Queen Elizabeth II traditionally steers well clear of political controversy, but at a Women’s Institute meeting near Sandringham yesterday it appears she made a veiled intervention in the debate over Britain's exit from the European Union.

She said: “As we look for new answers in the modern age, I for one prefer the tried and tested recipes, like speaking well of each other and respecting different points of view; coming together to seek out the common ground; and never losing sight of the bigger picture. To me, these approaches are timeless, and I commend them to everyone.”
