In a speech recorded while touring South Africa and Rhodesia (today known as Zimbabwe), Princess Elizabeth expresses her thanks for messages of congratulation on her 21st birthday. She pays tribute to the people of the Empire and Commonwealth and dedicates her life to serving them.
The Queen did not visit South Africa again until 1995, after the end of apartheid and the first democratic elections there. During this historic visit, South Africa rejoined the Commonwealth, which it had left in 1961.
