Impressed by the bravery of Pakistani girls’ education campaigner Malala Yousafzai, Queen Elizabeth II has invited her to the Buckingham Palace.
The news of the invitation has increased speculation that the 16-year-old may be named as the youngest winner of the Nobel peace prize later this week.
The Queen has been very impressed by her bravery and also asked Pakistan’s high commissioner to the UK, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, about her recovery, the ‘Sunday Times’ reported on Sunday.
Malala had been airlifted to Birmingham for life-saving surgery after being shot in the head and neck by Taliban gunmen for speaking out in favour of girls’ education.
