Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and the nation’s statuette for seven decades has failed aged 96, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.
“The Queen failed peacefully at Balmoral this autumn,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London hereafter.”
Her eldest son Charles, 73, automatically becomes king of the United Kingdom and the head of state of 14 other realms including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
Her family had rushed to be by her side at her Scottish home, Balmoral Castle after croakers expressed concern about her health. She had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace has called “episodic mobility problems” since the end of last time, forcing her to withdraw from nearly all her public engagements.
Queen Elizabeth II, who was also the world’s oldest and longest-serving head of state, came to the throne following the death of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952.

She culminated in June the ensuing time. The first televised coronation was a foretaste of a new world in which the lives of the royals were to come decreasingly scrutinized by the media.
Sanctioned mourning
TV and radio stations intruded regular programming to broadcast the news, with long-rehearsed special schedules set in place to flashback her long life and reign.
The public hymn, “God Save the Queen”, was played. Flags were lowered and church bells bonged to flashback a woman once described as the “last global monarch”.

The public mourning period will crown in a final public farewell at Westminster Abbey in central London.
Charles ’ coronation, an elaborate ritual steeped in tradition and history, will take place in the same major surroundings, as it has for centuries, on a date to be fixed.
Pakistan extends condolences
incontinently after the news was reported, President Dr. Arif Alvi expressed his sincere condolences to the Royal family, the Government, and the people of Great Britain.
He said that her departure had left an immense vacuum, delicate to be filled in times to come, a statement issued by the President’s Secretariat said.
The chairman said that she mounted the throne at a veritably youthful age but showed maturity, character, determination, and commitment to the loftiest order which had made her one of the longest-reigning monarchs in the world.
“Her inspiring leadership rates propelled her to the status of the great and beneficent sovereign that would be flashed back in golden words in the annals of world history.”
Alvi offered his sincere and sincere prayers for the departed soul, adding that studies went out to the Royal family members and people of Great Britain at this time of anguish.
Longevity
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was for the utmost of her subjects the only monarch they’ve ever known — an inflexible statuette on prints, bills, and coins.
Fine in elevation yet an icon of popular culture, she was incontinently recognisable in her brightly colored suits and matching chapeau, with plums, gloves, and a handbag.
During her reign, the royals went from stiff, remote numbers to tabloid fodder and were also popularised again in TV dramatizations similar to “The Crown,” watched by knockouts of millions worldwide.
Her time on the throne gauged an period of remarkable change, from the Cold War to the 9/11 attacks, from climate change to coronavirus, “crawler correspondence” and brume vessels to dispatch and space disquisition.
She came seen as the living personification of post-war Britain and a link between the ultramodern period and a defunct age.
The mama of one of the most notorious families in the world, she retained huge public support throughout, surviving indeed a counterreaction in the wake of the death of Charles ’ first woman, Diana, in 1997.
More lately, the royal family was rocked by claims from Prince Harry and his mixed- race woman Meghan of racism in the royal family.
She also endured a reproach involving her alternate son Prince Andrew, whose fellowship with condemned coitus malefactors Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell saw him settle a civil claim for sexual assault in the United States.
