A STATEMENT FROM HIS MAJESTY THE KING AT THE TIME OF THE QUEEN’S DEATH
The death of my beloved Mother, Her MAJESTY The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.
We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted2 and sustained by our knowledge3 of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.
