She was the model constitutional monarch
The Queen has died. Buckingham Palace has just confirmed that Her Majesty passed away at Balmoral this afternoon.
It was clear Her Majesty was most unwell when the canceling of the privy council yesterday was followed by a rare bulletin from Buckingham Palace on her health. The Speaker informed the House of Commons of the Queen’s ill-health this morning and since then the nation has been braced for the worse.
The Queen has reigned for seventy years. She worked until the very end. Just on Monday, she invited her 15th prime minister, Liz Truss, to form a government.
