Ever since the news of the passing away of the much-loved Queen Elizabeth broke out, moments of the late monarch’s life are being remembered and celebrated across the UK . In September 2015, she replaced Queen Victoria as UK’s longest-serving monarch. Queen Elizabeth was the second-longest serving monarch of all time worldwide after France’s Louis XIV.
King Charles III paid tribute to his “beloved” mother Queen Elizabeth II after she died “peacefully” at the age of 96. He said her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world. The 73-year-old, in his first statement as monarch, said his family mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved mother.
