The nation’s new King has described the death of the Queen, who he called his “beloved Mother”, as the “greatest sadness” for his family
“She seemed so timeless and so wonderful that I am afraid we had come to believe, like children, that she would just go on and on,” he said.
“The late Queen leaves behind a truly extraordinary legacy: one that is found in almost every corner of our national life, as well as the lives of so many nations around the world, and especially in the Commonwealth. “The Queen’s unwavering dedication to the British Armed Forces will be greatly missed. Our sincere condolences are with the Royal Family at this time.”They said in a Whitehouse Statement that she was “more than a monarch” and that she “defined an era”.
“On behalf of the officers of the Secret Intelligence Service, I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences to the royal family,” he said in his statement. “Along with the rest of the nation, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s passing,” Sir Elton wrote.
