The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
London, UK | THE INDEPENDENT & BBC | King Charles has released a statement following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch. She died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.
“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family” said King Charles. ” We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved mother.”
Queen Elizabeth’s family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health earlier on Thursday.
The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.
With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.
