'Our hearts are broken': UK newspapers react to Queen Elizabeth II's death

In pics - People around the world pay tribute after the death of Queen Elizabeth II

<p>British screenwriter and playwright Peter Morgan, best known for creating the critically-acclaimed Netflix royal drama 'The Crown' has spoken about the death of<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/in-pics-popular-scandals-of-queen-elizabeths-70-year-reign-514264"> Queen Elizabeth II</a>. The longest-serving ruler of the United Kingdom passed away at the age of 96. She reigned over the constitutional monarchy for 70 years. She succeeded her father King George VI in 1952 for the British throne. Before 'The Crown', Morgan also served as the writer of the 2006 film 'The Queen', directed by Stephen Frears, in which Helen Mirren donned the role of the Queen. In an email, Morgan said 'The Crown' was his love letter to the Queen as per Deadline.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also said that the show will stop filming out of respect for her. He added that he will not be making any other statement on the death.&nbsp; “The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect. I expect we will stop filming out of respect too," he said.</p>

<p>'The Crown' traces the reign of Queen Elizabeth II from her coronation to the present (which, presumably, will now include&nbsp;her death). Claire Foy played the role in the first two seasons, and won two Emmys for her performance. Oscar-winning actor Olivia Colman took over in seasons 3 and 4, and went on to win an Emmy too.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Imelda Staunton will play the role in season 5 and season 6.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Deadline reported that Stephen Daldry, who directed four episodes of 'The Crown', had said that the production will halt when the show first began filming.</p>

<p>“None of us know when that time will come but it would be right and proper to show respect to the Queen. It would be a simple tribute and a mark of respect. She’s a global figure and it’s what we should do,” he had told Baz Bamigboye.</p>

No passport, trained mechanic, two birthdays: Some interesting facts about Queen Elizabeth

<p>From royal mistress to Her Majesty the Queen, Camilla has seen an extraordinary transformation. She will be by the side of King Charles III at his coronation and is expected to wear the Queen Mother's 1937 coronation crown. As soon as Charles became King following Queen Elizabeth II's death, Camilla became Queen Consort.</p>

<p>There was a time when she was disliked by the public and seen as the reason for the breaking down of Charles and Diana's marriage. She married Charles in 2005 but reports suggest that Camilla did not want to be known as Queen Consort, even though it was something that she was entitled to. She instead wanted to be known as Princess Consort when the time came. This title has never been used before in British history.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the eve of her 70th accession day in February this year, Queen Elizabeth had expressed the desire for Camilla to take the title when the time comes. “When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife, Camilla, the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service," the Queen wrote.</p>

<p>Queen Consort is the same title that&nbsp;was given to Elizabeth, the wife of King George VI. After the monarch passed, she was given the title of Queen Mother.</p>

<p>The massive shift in public opinion is a huge reason why Camilla is all set to become the Queen today.

From royal mistress to Her Majesty the Queen, Camilla has seen an extraordinary transformation. She will be by the side of King Charles III at his coronation and is expected to wear the Queen Mother's 1937 coronation crown. As soon as Charles became King following Queen Elizabeth II's death, Camilla became Queen Consort. There was a time when she was disliked by the public and seen as the reason for the breaking down of Charles and Diana's marriage. She married Charles in 2005 but reports suggest that Camilla did not want to be known as Queen Consort, even though it was something that she was entitled to. She instead wanted to be known as Princess Consort when the time came. This title has never been used before in British history. Also Read | Who is next?

Camilla to be crowned Queen Consort beside King Charles III: A look at her journey

<p>Queen Elizabeth II, the longest reigning monarch in British history, passed away at the age of 96 on Thursday. She became the queen in 1953 after the death of her father – King George VI – and since then, she has played a massive role in the history of the country and in many ways – the world.</p>

<p>However, the path of her ascension was filled with unexpected circumstances and surprises.</p>

<p>King George VI was the second in line for the throne after his elder brother King Edward VIII back in the 1930s.

<p>The rule was not smooth for King George VI as he had to guide the country through the second World War and a number of political tensions in the United Kingdom. He finally died of coronary thrombosis in 1952 after suffering from lung cancer and various other illnesses for quite some time.</p>

Queen Elizabeth II: How unexpected circumstances led to her coronation at 25 in 1952

<p>Charles became Britain's King after Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday (September 8) at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle, her home in Scotland.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Besides the throne, King Charles III will also inherit Queen's private fortune—without having to pay inheritance tax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Queen Elizabeth II is leaving behind over $500 million in personal assets from her 70 years on the throne. Notably, the British monarchs are not required to reveal their private finances.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the Sunday Times Rich List 2022 found that the Queen was worth some £370 million ($426 million), up £5 million from the previous year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A massive chunk of the Queen's personal wealth will pass to the King intact and he will not have to pay inheritance tax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Crown Estate lands and the Royal Collection of art and jewellery, plus official residences and the Royal Archives are held by the monarchy as an institution and they will only pass to Charles in trust.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Similarly, the Crown Jewels, which are estimated to be worth at least £3 billion, only belonged symbolically to the queen and are automatically transferred to her successor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Queen's private wealth will be added to King Charles III's own. According to celebritynetworth.com, his wealth has been estimated at some $100 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Sunday Times reported that Elizabeth's late husband, Prince Philip, left an estate worth £10 million, including an art collection of some 3,000 works. Reports mentioned that most of it was given to family and friends.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On one side, King Charles III inherits the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate of commercial, agricultural and residential assets owned by royalty since the Middle Ages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the other hand, he will lose the Duchy of Cornwall, another private estate, in southwest England. It will go to Charles' eldest son, Prince William, who is now heir to the throne.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Importantly, the monarch is entitled to use his/her income and largely uses it to meet official expenditure. In the financial year 2021-22, it delivered a net surplus of £24.0 million.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Forbes, the monarchy holds nearly $28 billion in real estate assets as of 2021, which includes, The Crown Estate ($19.5 billion), Buckingham Palace ($4.9 billion), The Duchy of Cornwall ($1.3 billion), The Duchy of Lancaster ($748 million), Kensington Palace ($630 million), The Crown Estate of Scotland ($592 million).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>King Charles II will receive the annual Sovereign Grant from the UK Treasury, which is set at 15 per cent of the profits from the Crown Estate.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Sovereign Grant covers costs of official engagements for the monarch and other senior members of the royal family, paying the salaries of their staff and the upkeep of royal palaces.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2021-22, it was set at £86.3 million, equivalent to £1.29 per person in the UK, and included funding for the renovation of Buckingham Palace.</p>
