The most famous monarch in the world, Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022. The second longest reigning monarch in human history is succeeded by her son King Charles III. Her legendary reign began on February 6, 1952 and has been a world constant ever since. Generations not just in the United Kingdom, but all over the world, have just always known she was there. Many are confused by a monarch, questions it viability or use, but regardless there was comfort in knowing that the Queen was always there. Sadly that is no more and the world is different for that. The world is lesser without her being in it. Canada's Justin Trudeau said it succulently, "In a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort to us all." Condolences to the people of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, her family, and really to the world.
