The whole of civilization is in mourning. The passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the enlightened monarch who reigned over the United Kingdom for 70 years, is a loss felt by billions around the world.
This week, and in the weeks ahead, we especially grieve for the royal family — we can only imagine their sorrow.
And we express our solidarity with all the people of the United Kingdom and every realm of the Commonwealth she so loved.
Few in history have more fully exemplified the traits of dignity, steadfastness, resolve, duty, and patriotic devotion.
She counseled 15 Prime Ministers and 13 Presidents, and was the longest-serving monarch in the history of England and the United Kingdom.
Spending time with Her Majesty was one of the most extraordinary honors of my life.
I grew up in a household where Queen Elizabeth — her grace, her charm, her nobility — were deeply admired, especially by my mother, who came from Scotland.

The times we spent with the Queen at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are memories Melania and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Her Majesty had a sharp mind, missed nothing, and always knew exactly what to say.
At our unforgettable State Dinner three years ago, we got along wonderfully, talking the whole evening.
That same week, the 75th anniversary of D-Day, we sat side-by-side to honor the sacrifice of the British and American warriors who fought and bled together in the Second World War.
I will forever be grateful for the privilege of getting to know this unparalleled leader.
As monarch, Her Majesty the Queen was the personal embodiment of nearly a century of British history.
Every Prime Minister from Winston Churchill onward served under her.
When I asked her who was her favorite, she told me she liked them all.
She saw her country through the Blitz of London, the Cold War, the Falklands conflict, the coal miners’ strikes, Brexit, COVID, and so much more.
No matter what
