Statement on the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

I offer my deepest condolences to the King and Royal Family upon the sad death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The entire nation will mourn with them as we contemplate her remarkable reign.
 
Throughout her long life, Her Majesty’s devotion to public service has been an inspiration, and her wisdom and strength have often provided solace to her people in times of darkness, most recently during the pandemic.
 
While Her Majesty’s passing is a source of profound sadness, we should also celebrate the extraordinary period in British history over which she reigned. Like so many, I feel privileged and lucky to have lived through the second Elizabethan age.
 
By her grace and dignity, Her Majesty touched the lives of millions, and she will live on in our hearts.
 
Long Live the King.
