I don't even know how to start this. Even though it's been hours since news broke that Her Majesty the Queen has sadly passed away, I still feel quite shook up and deeply saddened. I know a lot of people aren't fans of our royal family and they're entitled to that. But for as long as I've been alive, Elizabeth has been our queen, and I've always had a huge amount of respect for this lady. She worked tirelessly during her reign and were a fantastic ambassador for our country. The last few years of her life were far from tranquil as we all know for many reasons, with the loss of her husband undoubtedly being her biggest heartbreak. And yet she still soldiered on with her last official act being to appoint our new PM just days before she passed away. A lot of people made a lot of noise about her jubilee celebrations declaring it a waste of time and money, but I for one am now especially pleased that we went all out for our Queen, and she knew before she died just how loved she was. I was fortunate enough to have met our new King many years ago when he visited our town, but never was lucky enough to meet his amazing mum. Something I will always regret.
I would like to ask you all to please share your thoughts about our wonderful late Queen. But please keep them positive. Even if you aren't keen on the royals, remember that a lady who were a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother has passed away so please be respectful.
Rest in peace, Your Majesty. Thank you Ma'am. ❤️😥
So hard to believe that it was all just over a year ago. I still can't get used to saying King Charles or Queen Camilla!
