When Did Queen Elizabeth II Die?
Queen Elizabeth II died at 96 on Thursday, Buckingham Palace confirmed. Great Britain says goodbye to the monarch with the longest reign in her history: she celebrated 70 years on the throne this 2022. She died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after doctors said they had been concerned about her health on Thursday.
Elizabeth II may not have been born to be a monarch, but once fate intervened, she steadfastly devoted her time on earth to duty and service.
Even in the last years of her life, as many speculated whether she would step back or perhaps even abdicate, she remained resolute in her devotion to her role.
As the coronavirus pandemic swept the world in 2020, the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, retreated from London to Windsor Castle.
As in other moments of crisis, the nation sought reassurance from the monarch, who evoked references to war before firmly declaring, “we will make it.”
Eager to remain present in public life amid lockdowns and physical distancing measures, she pivoted like so many of us did and started working from home, engaging in virtual engagements and making more calls.
Elizabeth II, the universal symbol of what a European royal house represents, was the most obvious demonstration that the survival of the monarchical institution always depends on the personality of the one who holds the crown.
And hers was a perfect combination of traditionalism, invisibility, liturgy, modernity in small sips, and delicate constitutional neutrality, won the respect of the 15 prime ministers, Conservatives, and Labour, who governed in her name.
