Prime Minister Liz Truss delivered a statement following the death of Her Majesty The Queen earlier today.
Liz Truss said ‘We are all devastated as she stood outside 10 Downing Street following the official announcement of the Queen’s death. ‘It is a day of great loss, but Queen Elizabeth II leaves a great legacy.’
Liz Truss was sworn in as Prime Minister only on Tuesday by the Queen ‘It’s an extraordinary achievement to have presided with such dignity and grace for 70 years. Her life of service stretched beyond most of our 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 us all.’
Liz Truss then added ‘Britain is the great country it is today thanks to her… She was the very spirit of Great Britain, and that spirit will endure.’
Liz Truss also appeared to confirm the title Charles would take as King as King Prince Charles III.
