Dialog
Queen Elizabeth II
Mr. Berners-Lee, your invention has woven the world together in ways we could scarcely have imagined.
Tim Berners-Lee
Your Majesty, it was truly a collective effort—one built upon countless contributions from across the globe.
Queen Elizabeth II
Technology for the common good—an endeavor worthy of this prize. I trust it shall continue to flourish under your guidance.

We must ensure it remains open and accessible—a tool for all, not just the few.
