She was the classiest of the bunch.

The first Prime Minister she appointed was born 101 years before Liz Truss. Mind boggling.

Thanks.
She was head of state of 15 countries.   The loss will the there too.  Probably even Australia. 

She has also helped bind the Commonwealth together.   

I hope Charles does the same, I think he will try.

[Brad]

Somebody described her as "the last grownup."

The queen reigned for 30% of US history.

I don't know the details, but wasn't there some arrangement whereby Charles III becomes king of England and all the Commonwealth countries, but that role is no longer hereditary, so it is not a given that William becomes king of the Commonwealth countries. Do I have that remotely correct? I skimmed an article on British succession, but I did not fully follow it.
