I’m so sad to see that the Queen has passed away. She was an amazing woman with strength & fortitude of no other. What an impressive (in every way) woman!

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II, whose 70-year reign spanned wars, a pandemic, 13 presidents and the winding down of Britain’s vast empire, has died. Her eldest son, Charles, is now king.

“The queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the royal family said in a statement. “The king and the queen consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

Duke of York - Andrew
Earl and Countess of Wessex - Edward and Sophie
Duke and Duchess of Sussex - Harry and Megan
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (soon to be Prince and Princess of Wales)- William and Kate - apparently this is the gift or the reigning monarch so William and Kate are now automatically the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.

ETA updates re William and Kate

Seeing her greet the new PM 2 days ago, I certainly didn't expect her death to follow so soon. Its made me feel genuinely sad

Duke of Cambridge is William, Duke of York is Andrew , Earl of Wessex is Edward and Duke of Sussex is Harry.

Sad news about the Queen, she was a remarkable woman and the British are rightly proud of her.

Most of us have never known a world without her in it

Yes, but she looked good in those pictures and I am glad that there was no prolonged suffering. She looked radiantly happy, and that is the way I want to remember her.
