    Britain’s royal family will mark what would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday by unveiling comprehensive plans for a new charity and memorial in central London.

    Several events are planned for Tuesday to honor Britain’s longest serving monarch, who died nearly four years ago at the age of 96.

    Her son King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla will visit the British Museum in London to view designs of the planned memorial, while her daughter Princess Anne will officially open the Queen Elizabeth II Garden in Regent’s Park, London. In a video posted on the Royal Family’s YouTube channel, Charles will also reflect on his mother’s legacy.

    King honours his 'darling Mama', the late Queen, on her centenary

    King Charles has delivered a personal video message remembering the life of public service of his "darling Mama", the late Queen Elizabeth II, on what would have been her 100th birthday.

    Although the King warned, in a message recorded at Balmoral earlier this month, that his mother would have disapproved of the current state of the world.

    "Much about the times we now live in I suspect may have troubled her deeply," said the King, without revealing any specific concerns, domestic or international.

    On Tuesday, which marks the centenary of Britain's longest-reigning monarch, the final design of a traditional bronze statue of the late Queen will be shown to King Charles and Queen Camilla.

    Notably, Sakkari’s 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 win over Emma Raducanu, was her first career victory against the Briton on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz. Sakkari is now 2-0 in singles to start the season, defeating Naomi Osaka on Jan. 2 in the win over Japan.

    Raducanu’s failings resurface as Britain suffer bitter United Cup loss to Greece

    Great Britain fell to a bitter 2-0 loss in their decisive United Cup tie against Greece in the round-robin group stage as Emma Raducanu fought hard to overcome her injury-ravaged preparation for the new season before fading badly in her first match of the year, losing 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 against Maria Sakkari in her first match of the year.

    Raducanu’s defeat had been preceded by a courageous performance from the British No 5 Billy Harris, Jack Draper’s injury replacement, who played one of the best matches of his career before falling 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) to the former No 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas.

    Emma Raducanu withdraws from United Cup tie against Naomi Osaka as GB start campaign

    Emma Raducanu withdrew from her match against Naomi Osaka as Great Britain started their United Cup campaign with a 2-1 group-stage win against Japan in Australia.

    The British number one has not played since October and pulled out of two exhibition matches in the United States in December because of a minor foot issue.

    Her withdrawal against Osaka in Perth comes in the lead up to the Australian Open, which begins in Melbourne on 18 January.

    "I have to be honest, she was very close," GB team captain Tim Henman told Australian broadcaster Nine prior to the tie.

    "It wasn't an easy decision. She had been building up and practising really well. But we just felt this morning it was a little bit too early."

    Naomi Osaka survived a welcome test in her United Cup opener as Japan pushed Great Britain to the brink in Perth, where Emma Raducanu was a late scratching.

    The two-time Australian Open champion beat Katie Swan 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 to level their tie at 1-1, before the Brits sealed the rubber in a match tiebreak.

    Swan stepped in for Raducanu at late notice and pushed the four-time major winner for almost two hours, before Osaka delivered Japan their first United Cup point in their tournament debut.
