"Over the coming week, as we celebrate our friendship, spirit in unity, and achievements of the Commonwealth, we have an opportunity to reflect on a time like no other," the Queen said in the statement, which didn't address Meghan and Harry's interview and instead focused on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
