Queen’s secret letter locked in Sydney time capsule, to be opened in 2086

australian media is abuzz with the news that a secret letter written by Queen Elizabeth II is locked inside a vault or time capsule in Sydney, to be opened in 2086, 100 years after it was written.

According to 7NEWS Australia, the letter is inside a vault in a historic building in Sydney was written in November 1986, addressed to the people of Sydney. Even the Queen’s personal staff are not aware of what the letter says.

Hidden inside a glass case in a secure location, it can’t be opened until 2085. The address was to the Lord Mayor of Sydney, and the instruction clearly says:

“On a suitable day to be selected by you in the year 2085 A.D, would you please open this envelope and convey to the citizens of Sydney my message to them.” It is simply signed, “Elizabeth R.”

Speculation is rife that it could be about a time capsule to be unearthed in 2086 for the people of Australia. The Queen had special place for Australia in her heart and visited almost all the regions during her visits.

Queen Elizabeth II has special ties with Australia, which honoured the Queen as Head of the State and defeated a referendum to replace her in 1999. She had visited Australia 16 times during her 70 years of reign.

“It was clear Her Majesty held a special place in her heart for Australia,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said..

On Friday, Sydney’s iconic Opera House was lit with a tribute to the Queen.
