Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, held a press conference Feb. 10 to discuss the death of her longtime friend, Betty Marion White Ludden.
“After her death, I spent three weeks in Peru mourning her loss,” the Queen told Carl Azuz of CNN. “But after careful consideration, I’ve decided to dedicate a holiday in her memory. December 31 shall hereby be known as White Day.”
Following this shocking announcement, several American news outlets requested exclusive interviews with the Queen. She has still not responded to any of these requests.
As of Feb. 14, United States president, Joe Biden, also passed a bill to recognize Betty White Day as a federal holiday.
It’s hard to say whether this holiday will stick in other countries, but one thing is for sure — Betty White would be proud of the good she did for this world.
