“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today. Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling,” he said. 

“We also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world. A deep sense of gratitude for the more than seventy years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations,” he continued.
