How The Queen unified a whole nation

As you all well know, the 8th?of September of 2022 will always be remembered, since it is the day in which The Queen of England died after seventy years of reign. To be honest, everybody knew that this day was approaching, for she was 96 years old and lately she wasn′t feeling quite well. Nevertheless, this news has been a shock not just for the UK and for the Commonwealth, but also for the whole word. As a matter of fact, I find it utterly impressive the power of unification that The Queen?Elisabeth?II has always entailed.

That Monday at midday, one old work colleague from England passed me on the message that rather soon we were going to have to mourn the death of the Majesty, thus I opted for putting the BBC radio on so as to know what was going on. More specifically?Buckingham?Palace had released a strange announcement?transmitting?its concern about her health, stating that she was comfortable?in her Balmoral Palace, which obviously meant that she was about to pass away.

In light of this news, what took me aback was how this historical moment was being experienced by the journalists of the BBC. The fact was that since all the royal family was leaving everything, including the Prince Harry, in order to reach Balmoral, everybody was expecting the sad news, so you could notice that the journalists, regardless of their political beliefs, were completely emotional and moved, trying to hold their tears whilst they were doing their best to update the audience.

Indeed it doesn′t matter if you are a republican or not, the point is that Queen Elisabeth II has been able to unify a whole nation. It is remarkable how the?British?people love their queen and how they live her death. I highly doubt that this reaction would happen in Spain should the King die. Now it is time for Charles to show the world that he has what it′s needed to reign.?
