Queen Elizabeth II's son, Charles, is now king and will be known as King Charles III. 'We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother,' the king said in a statement.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, Truss called Thursday"a day for great loss."
"With the king's family, we mourn the loss of his mother. And as we mourn, we must come together as a people to support him to help him bare the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all,"."We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long." Elizabeth acceded to the throne on Feb. 6, 1952. Over her 70-year-long reign, she oversaw an extraordinary period of British history, including decolonization and the independence of more than 20 countries that were once a part of the British Empire.She commanded widespread respect both at home and abroad, though she was criticized after the death of Princess Diana for being out of touch with the public mood.
Fifteen British Prime Ministers came and went during her reign, along with 14 U.S. Presidents. By the time she died, most Brits had never known another monarch. "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era," said President Biden and the first lady."We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world."
