“Her
Majesty
Queen
Elizabeth
II
will
be
remembered
as
a
stalwart
of
our
times.
She
provided
inspiring
leadership
to
her
nation
and
people.
She
personified
dignity
and
decency
in
public
life.
Pained
by
her
demise.
My
thoughts
are
with
her
family
and
people
of
UK
in
this
sad
hour,”
he
said.
With
the
passing
away
of
the
Queen,
the
UK
now
has
a
new
monarch
in
Charles,
the
former
Prince
of
Wales.
“The
Queen
died
peacefully
at
Balmoral
this
afternoon,”
Buckingham
Palace
said
in
a
statement.
“The
King
and
the
Queen
Consort
[Charles
and
Camilla]
will
remain
at
Balmoral
this
evening
and
will
return
to
London
tomorrow
[Friday],”
the
statement
said.
The
Queen
came
to
the
throne
in
1952
and
witnessed
enormous
social
change.
With
her
death,
her
eldest
son
and
heir
Charles
will
lead
the
country
in
mourning
as
the
new
King
and
Head
of
State
for
14
Commonwealth
realms.
Charles
and
the
Queen’s
close
family
members
travelled
to
Balmoral,
near
Aberdeen,
after
doctors
placed
the
Queen
under
medical
supervision.
Her
grandson,
Prince
William,
is
also
there,
with
his
brother,
Prince
Harry,
on
his
way.
The
Queen’s
daughter,
Princess
Anne,
was
already
by
her
side
at
the
Scottish
castle
and
her
other
children
–
Prince
Andrew
and
Prince
Edward
–
joined
later.
Prince
Harry
and
Meghan,
the
Duke
and
Duchess
of
Sussex
who
were
in
London
for
a
charity
event,
also
rushed
to
Harry’s
grandmother’s
summer
residence.
William’s
wife
Kate,
the
Duchess
of
Cambridge,
has
remained
in
Windsor
as
their
children
–
Prince
George,
Princess
Charlotte
and
Prince
Louis
–
started
their
first
full
day
at
a
new
school
there
earlier
on
Thursday.
The
96-year-old
monarch
has
been
suffering
from
age-related
mobility
issues
and
had
cut
down
her
travels,
including
appointing
new
Prime
Minister
Liz
Truss
in
Scotland
earlier
this
week.
