The death of the queen has divided the world in three. One side love her for the dignity, grace, charming personality, and aura she carried over. The love for the royal queen is immense due to the extraordinary service she has provided to her nation for more than 60 years.
Two, who associate the relationship of the monarchy with oppression and suppression. As “Oppression is with Royalty.” The criticism of monarchy comes from people who lived with the brutality of Britishers during colonial times.
It would be unfair to talk about the two sides wherein there lies a third, where a lot of people respect and love the queen irrespective of having a bad colonial history or being a critique of the monarchy. It is not like they are unaware of the historical facts but maybe choose to see it differently.
Queen’s Rule :
In 1952, Elizabeth’s father died ascending the throne to her at the age of 25. Since she had been serving tremendously. Nobody knew she would become one of the most loved monarchs in British history.
In 2017, she became the first monarch to celebrate a Sapphire Jubilee, marking 65 years on the throne following her silver, golden, and diamond jubilee. She was the longest-lived British monarch and the second-longest reigning sovereign in world history, behind Louis XIV of France.
The demise of the Queen of Great Britain has left the world in utter shock and bereaved. One side of the world is unable to accept that she is no more as it felt she would stay forever.
Grief displays from around the world, be it; a public gathering at Buckingham Palace in London, people expressing through their social media, condolences from world leaders, etc.
The former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, “This is our country’s saddest day.’’
French President Emmanuel Macron said the queen had embodied the continuity and unity of the British nation for 70 years.
People gathered outside Buckingham Palace were out of words and expressed their sorrow differently for the queen.
