Queen of England video call with schoolchildren praised Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin as "charming".

Recently, Prince Harry and Meghan exposed many insiders of the royal family on a talk show in the United States, which made the British royal family once again fall into the whirlpool of public opinion. Still, Queen Elizabeth II, known for her diligence, did not sit idle, but continued her work as she had done in the past few decades. Given that it is currently UK Science Week, the Queen made a friendly video call with a group of primary school students. In the video, she introduces the children to yuri gagari, the first Earthlings to enter space, the Soviet cosmonaut.

As one of the theme events of British Science Week, Queen Elizabeth II recently held a video call with a group of primary school students at Thomas Jones Primary School in west London who are learning about space exploration, the Associated Press reported.

During the call, the Queen recalled the first time Soviet cosmonaut Gagarin went into space. "Yes, he's Russian." She laughed, and the children laughed. The Queen then introduced the legend to the children. The astronaut, she said, "doesn't speak English, but he's charming, and I think he's the first to be so fascinating." ”

The call between the queen and the child was hosted by space scientist Maggie Aderin-Pocock. Pokock said that as the first person to go into space, Gagarin did not know what was waiting for him in front of him, which was a terrible thing. "Yes, and you don't know if you'll ever be able to get back to Earth." The Queen then said, "This is the most terrible thing. ”

In 1961, Gagarin completed the feat of humanity's first spaceflight, and thus became the first person in the world to enter space, and the first person to have the privilege of viewing the whole earth from space. That same year, against the backdrop of the then global Cold War, Gagarin visited Britain and was received by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

At the time, the Queen's reception of Gagarin also caused some controversy, because she disregarded tradition and took a photo with Gagarin. In this regard, the queen explained that he was not an ordinary earthling, he was a heavenly man. In any case, Gagarin's visit to Britain as a friendly messenger eased the relations between Britain and the Soviet Union in the context of the Cold War.

For a long time, the Queen of England seems to be particularly interested in space-related matters, such as the fact that she has met many famous astronauts at Buckingham Palace, including Armstrong, who landed on the moon first, and the first woman to land in space, Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova.
