The announcement in detail
It is with sadness and respect that the world community bids farewell to Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom. Such losses are usually accompanied by the conclusion that an entire era closes with them. In Elizabeth’s case, however, many eras close.
Never before has a head of state seen his country and the world change so much and so quickly during his days. For the Queen ascended her throne with the British Empire still stretching to the ends of the earth. And he passes away with the UK entering an unprecedented, very different phase of its eventful history.
During her reign, the British state and society saw many upheavals. While she worked harmoniously with 15 prime ministers, including personalities who left a huge mark on the international scene. And he always behaved with moderation and prudence. Loyal to the centuries-old constitutional roots of her country.
In times when the planet counts fewer and fewer monarchies, Elizabeth succeeded in breathing new life into the institution, interweaving tradition with renewal. It thus made him more accessible to the people, as the reactions of the British themselves attest. Because the Queen served what her position symbolized: the unity of her people. And this is her most valuable legacy.
We respectfully share in the grief of the citizens of the United Kingdom. And our deepest condolences to the royal family.
