Live Updates: Queen Elizabeth II Under Medical Supervision (The New York Times)

The queen, who is 96, remains at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and his wife, Camilla, traveled to be with the queen at Balmoral Castle, his office said. His eldest son, Prince William, who is second in line to the throne, was also on his way to Scotland, as were the queen’s other sons, Andrew and Edward. Both meetings had been moved from Buckingham Palace to Balmoral to spare the queen a flight to London. As the news about the queen began to circulate, a crowd quickly formed outside Buckingham Palace. During the Platinum Jubilee in June, marking her 70 years on the throne, a smiling monarch appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch a parade and a Royal Air Force flyover in her honor. Alexander Caplan, a technology entrepreneur, came to Buckingham Palace immediately after hearing the news of the queen’s health. For the queen, it was the second meeting with a prime minister that morning. The Palace said that the monarch had accepted doctors’ advice to rest. During the depths of the pandemic, she addressed a socially isolated nation, assuring Britons, in the words of Vera Lynn’s beloved World War II-era song, that “we’ll meet again.” In April 2021, the queen lost her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, who died a few weeks before his 100th birthday. The queen, who is 96, remains at Balmoral Castle, her estate in the Scottish Highlands, Buckingham Palace said in a statement. But on Wednesday evening, she abruptly canceled a virtual meeting with members of her Privy Council after her doctors advised her to rest.

The Commonwealth cannot even be considered as a palliative formula for the excesses experienced in some former colonies. Queen Elizabeth II was not responsible ...

Elizabeth II has been the Queen of a country that has contributed to the advancement of democratic values and institutions at the international level. However, Elizabeth II had to suffer under her reign the harsh and long conflict in Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. Few figures in history have been able to represent an institution for 70 years and to perform the functions and duties inherent to such a task as Queen Elizabeth II has done. Elizabeth II has been the Queen of a democratic nation that in seven decades has not lost at any time the orientation and the foundations on which its system of liberties and its rule of law are based. And there has been no other way for constitutional monarchies since the liberal revolutions ended privilege by considering equality before the law and individual liberties, the fundamental pillars of any political system, regardless of which institution represented popular sovereignty: a presidency, an assembly or a monarch. But that legacy of unresolved imbalances caused by European empires has remained in history for several decades of her reign.

The coins and bills depicting the queen are still good for now, but they will be phased out of circulation and replaced with new currency, featuring the King, in the months to come. He will be responsible for making choices or weighing in concerning a lot of the interpersonal situations that often land the royals in headlines. Though there have been some [ jokey whispers](https://twitter.com/papasombra/status/1567840329478414341) of the queen, like, revenge-dying to leave Truss with a mess on her hands, it seems like it had more to do with her being 96 years old. She would have been the first spouse of a British king not to be known as queen, but earlier this year, in what some considered the start of the [“soft launch”](https://www.gawker.com/celebrity/the-queen-is-soft-launching-her-death) of the queen’s death, Elizabeth announced she wanted Camilla to be spared that particular first.

That will be followed by a period of lying in state for several days, during which the public will be able to visit 23 hours a day (and tens of thousands of visitors are expected). The coffin will then be taken to London in time for a procession that will go from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. It doesn’t change anything to do with the line of succession to the throne, but some titles do get upgrades. In the next couple days, the queen’s coffin is expected to leave Balmoral for the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, before a ceremonial procession to St. We do know it’ll probably happen in Westminster Abbey (also the site of William and Kate’s wedding) in a religious service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Though the territory she presided over shrank significantly during her reign due to decolonization, and though the British royal family endured reams of scandals, she is considered a very successful monarch, beloved by the people of the U.K. But after a record number of years on the throne, her reign ended with her death on Thursday.

Emmanuel Onwubiko: Queen Elizabeth's death: Flashes of Biafran ... (Daily Post Nigeria)

Buckingham Palace England had in the late afternoon of Thursday September 8th 2022 announced the passage of the British Monarch thus: “The Queen died.

Alarmingly, governors, presidential candidates of the leading parties and a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, jetted to the British capital for a series of meetings. This is because his boss President Buhari is perhaps the only President of Nigeria that has carried out apartheid and divisive policies against the South that reechoed the wounds inflicted by that war of the late1960’s. So why is the young boy working for the Octogenarian President Muhammadu Buhari angry that Professor Uju Anya wrote tweets against the British Monarchy for aiding and abetting genocides during the Biafran and Nigerian war when his boss the President has implemented policies that aren’t different from carrying out economic genocides against South East of Nigeria? “Achebe, as is his right, does not pull any punches, although he does make some concessions to alternative points of view, especially in relation to the legacy of colonialism and the moral imperative on writers to produce committed literature. This continues until the latter part of the book, when he begins to describe the counter-coup of July 1966, the massacres of Igbos that followed the coup, the failed attempts at negotiating peace and the subsequent declaration of independence and the harrowing consequences that followed.” Interspersing the historical account is the story of his father, one of the early Igbo converts to Christianity, and his experiences growing up with newly Christian, trailblazing parents caught between the old traditions and cosmology of the Igbo people and the new Christianity. Some died as a result of the fighting but most from hunger and disease after the Nigerian government imposed a land and sea blockade that resulted in famine. Among those I would list is the creation by British officialdom in South Africa of the concentration camp, to persecute the families of Boers. “The federal government in Lagos was a brutal military dictatorship that came to power in 1966 in a bloodbath. She ruled Great Britain for 70 years and was head of the Commonwealth of Nations for that amount of time. But for those of us whose families lived through it, it is an erasure of truth not to name it The Biafran Genocide Writing further about this would require that this writer states clearly that the comments of Professor Uju Anya were inappropriate and not well timed and properly presented.

And yet, as the stories reveal, the Queen was exactly who you would hope she would be. But, she became a leader because she was the Queen.

Uju Anya, a Nigerian professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, has come under heavy scrutiny for a tweet she put out yesterday.

Perhaps knowing that the Queen suffered before her passing was some form of closure to Anya. Anya’s tweet and those who shared her opinion are proof that more conversations on colonialism need to be had. Similar to the phrase; “slavery happened 400 years ago,” a phrase white Americans, unwilling to have a dialogue concerning the subject, constantly use. Anya’s grievance was on the role the English monarch played in the genocide of the Biafran people. Most people think that her tweet was cruel, unnecessary, and insensitive. Although Twitter has taken down the tweet, it hasn’t stopped people from reacting.
