Queen Elizabeth II
1926-2022
Reigning Monarch
1952-2022
Elizabeth II of England is one person who has been on the world stage and in her same position for, literally, my entire life. She was a unifying and beloved figure not only in the British Empire, but in the entire world, for the seventy years that she sat upon the British Throne.
There is nothing that I can add to all that will be written about her in the days ahead. It was a remarkable life of service and devotion to duty.
RIP Elizabeth II
From the speech of the Princess Elizabeth upon the occasion of her 21st birthday in 1947:
"I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong."
