The passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch who reigned for over seven decades since the early post-War years, marked the end of an era for the British monarchy. Our London correspondent Sriram Lakshman tracked the development that came just days after Queen Elizabeth appointed former U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
“As epochal was her rule, so too could the impact of her passing be on the mission and prospects of the Commonwealth,” said The Hindu, in its editorial reflecting on her life, death, and questions about the state of the monarchy vis-à-vis the Commonwealth realms.
India announced a day of National Mourning on September 11 to mark her passing.
