Queen Elizabeth II, according to UK’s new Prime Minister Liz Truss, leaves a “wonderful legacy.”
“Today the Crown passes, as it has done for more than a thousand years, to our new monarch, our new head of state, His Majesty King Charles III,” BBC reported, quoting her statement.
“With the King's family we mourn the loss of his mother and come together.
“We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much to us for so long.”
She finished her statement saying it is “the passing of the second Elizabethan age”.
Truss concluded by saying: “God save the King.”
