And im, and Queen Elizabeth at the time was head of state, you know, she, i, as ahead of, of britain. And at the time that many of his punches all of this countrys godaddy penance, a number of them still made her their head of state. And weve seen that in recent months, some of the caribbean nations, i chose to lead to remove her as, as head of state. Nevertheless, i dont think that there would be any one per se in these commonwealth countries that will not express respect at this time at half past 8.

In caesar, raoul historian joins us now from paris and eds, its the news that nobody ever thought would happen. Really, if you live in britain, this woman has always been a part of the fabric of british life. Yes. And yet at the same time, we have known our for a while now that the, the Queens Health was fading out only last november. She she was unable to be present for the remembrance sunday service. And really this was a, a strong indication that that her house was, was not good. At the previous months she had visited hospital at the time, the panis did not disclose exactly what was wrong with her. And then earlier this year, weve of course had the in their state of the night with the, in a 2nd that we just want to go to that 10 downing street live trust in you Prime Minister is speaking by the news that we have just heard from balmoral, the death of her majesty the queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen elizabeth the 2nd was the rock on which molten britain was built. All country has grown and flourished under her reign. Britain is the great country. It is today because of her. She ascended the throne just off to the 2nd well bull. She championed the development of the commonwealth from a small group of 7 countries to a family of 56. 00 nations spotting every continent of the world. We are now a malden thriving dynamic nation. 3 2nd thing. Queen elizabeth the 2nd, provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britain, and that spirit will enjo. She has been our longest, ever raining monarch. Its an extraordinary achievement to have presided with such dignity and grace for 70 years. How long, how life of service stretch be all maced of all living memories . In return, she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world. She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many britons. Her devotion to duty is an example to esl. Earlier this week, at 96, she remained determined to carry out her duties, as she appointed me as her 15th Prime Minister. Throughout her life, she is visited more than a 100 countries, and she has touched the lives of millions around the world. In the difficult days ahead, we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom, the commonwealth on the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service. It is a day of great loss, but Queen Elizabeth the 2nd leaves a great legacy. Today the crown passes, as it has done so more than a 1000 years to our new monarch on you had to state his majesty, king charles the 3rd with the kings family. We mourn the loss of his mother. And as we bowed, we must come together as a people to support him to help him by the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all. We offer him all loyalty and devotion justice, his mother devoted so much to so many, for so long. And with the passing of the 2nd elizabeth, an age we are in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country. Exactly as her majesty would have wished by saying the words, god save the king. That is, britons new Prime Minister lives pro, talking the passing of elizabeth an age saying this is a huge shock to the nation whose talk to the world through thick and thin. This pro said, Queen Elizabeth embodied the very spirit of britain. She touched the lives of millions to day of great loss bits. Queen elizabeth the 2nd left, a great legacy. Lets return to ed owens. We will speak to him just a short while ago roll historian joins us now from paris. Ed, extraordinary to think that the britons knew Prime Minister his trust just 2 days ago that she was with the queen of bell moral. It is extraordinary. And i think many people will be watching the new Prime Minister making this speech and commemorating the figure of elizabeth the 2nd. And its almost hard to believe that this figure is on you Prime Minister and given that shes been in the job. And so at a time im but nevertheless meaningful words. I think it summed up this epoch, which we now describe as the, the 2nd elizabeth in age, the significant amount of change that has taken place over 70 years. Britain and the commonwealth are very different compared to 1962. And i think that when we, as historians come to look back at the, the reign of elizabeth, the 2nd, we will be very interested to see just just what kind of social economic, cultural, Political Developments took place through this period and how the monarchy and specifically the monarch lent this period a sense of, of continuity and i would suggest stability as well as a list ra said. The crown are passes on to her eldest son too. Who was now king charles a 3rd a. Do you think this will be a moment . Said a new time, a new era for the monarchy. Yes and no. And i began an answer earlier on when talking to you regarding how we have actually seen Prince Charles being prepared for this moment. Not just over the last year when hes filled in that his mother on a number of significant occasions, most notably the opening of the state happening aparment early this year. But also this, this stretches back almost a decade in that he has become a more present figure in our national either thats been very deliberate. It has been in order to, if you like, ease this moment of the transition. That we are more accustomed to seeing him in a leading role. And i have a feeling that given that he is now, his grieving monarch, the British Public, despite what have at times been, or a certain sense of, of disapproval, certain controversy that is attached to charles said he was, he was prince of wales. I think that will be a sentimental rallying around him, or in this moment of, of grief that his personal but is also national. Indeed, thats ahead. Of course. Lets just take a moment to look back at the british Prime Minister talked of the great legacy that Queen Elizabeth leaves behind somebody that youve alluded to to this policy of the elizabeth and age. Just how much did she she bring to the monica and how important a figure is she in britain and especially as its kind of representative around the world. Well, ill take your 1st question if i my 1st and i think in terms of what she did for the monarchy, she really re energized and re invigorated the monarchy. Following the reign of her father george, the sick, who wasnt a particularly popular man. And his reign really was overshadowed by the circumstances to which he or at which he came to the throne. Because of course, his older brother at, with the aid abdicated. And thats the application really . It it, it o. The shadowed much of george and 6 rang and he wasnt seen as a very romantic or charismatic figure. When elizabeth the 2nd came to the throne, she was a young woman in her mid twenties, a young mother. And she seemed to embody a certain sense of optimism, a sense of renewal. The britain was moving past the bad old days of the 2nd world war. And was moving from, as i say, a rain of a, not a very popular king into a new reign where you had this sort of idyllic. A Domestic Group are in Elizabeth Phillips and then 2 young children. And there was a lot of hope and optimism about what this is new youthful family represented for britain. And just to move to your 2nd point, you, you asked, what does she mean to the world . Well, she is an iconic figure. She was this iconic figure and i think she will remain an iconic figure because arguably, she is the best known public figure in all of the world. Her face, we see on our bank notes on our postage stamps. But beyond british shows, it is also the case that she has this kind of global standing a global celebrity, and because of her commonwealth role as head of the commonwealth, she was widely celebrated for her roland holding that organization together to. So i think there is this global dimension to the monarchy which often we, we lose sight of back in britain, in that sense of duty we saw being displayed almost to her dying day. The emphasis to and to elizabeth the 2nd rain has been on duty in Public Service. And lets just take a moment to think about why the language of duty and Public Service matters so much. Its specifically because back in 1936, edward, the 8th. Her uncle put private desire and self fulfillment ahead of public duties. He and service and therefore she sought to embody the kind of monarchy that her her uncle had failed to embody. And that notion of service a duty has really appealed. I think both to the British Public and to a commonwealth public. This idea that this individual will put Public Service and the welfare of others ahead of her own personal desire. I think that explains some of the strong, affectionate emotion that people have had. Paul is with the 2nd over the last 70 years and youre absolutely right to go back to the start of a conversation. You know, she only, ah, greeted a new Prime Minister this week, i think demonstrating a dutiful role, that dutiful nature right through to the very end. And well leave it there. Thanks very much indeed for your perspective and analysis good to have you with us. At this time. Ok, just to recap, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd, the u. K. As long as serving one occurs, died at val moral castle in scotland. Age 96. She rained for 70 years. Her family gathered round her at the scottish estate. After concerns grew earlier on thursday, Queen Elizabeth came to the throne in 1950, to witness in all the social changes weve been talking about.

Its real issues with the connecting with his phone at her at belmore and can imagine all the people using mobile phones out there just connecting round the world tele move. Well, the news that Queen Elizabeth has died. Well, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd came to throne on the death of her father in 1952, and became the longest reigning monarch in british history. In a little while, well take a look back at a long life. And thee and just to say that once it was ram out 20 past 12 to day, british time in the u. K, that we heard that the queen was poorly. And at that point all the queens children travelled to belmont. I think ms. At point, everybody realised that the situation where the next bit of news, when it came, i would be graven indeed. So it proved in thee her another further evidence of that was when the union jack, flying above im back in palace, was lowered to half mass as it has been above downing street as well. And all the queens children are balmoral and her grandson, Prince William and prince harry i believe is also there as well. Okay, lets take a look back. Its the life of christmas with his anderson.
