Queen Elizabeth II Passes Away Aged 96 by Krajangwit Johjit BANGKOK (NNT) - Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history and a symbol instantly recognized by billions of people worldwide, has died. She was 96. Buckingham Palace issued a brief statement announcing her passing, prompting ten days of national mourning and a flood of tributes to her long life and record-breaking reign. The palace announced, “the Queen passed away peacefully at Balmoral." Charles, Prince of Wales, the eldest of her four children and the oldest heir apparent in British history, at age 73, immediately becomes king. Two days earlier, the queen appointed Liz Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign and was photographed smiling while using a walking stick and appearing feeble. In 1952, at 25, Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in the aftermath of International War II, joining a world stage dominated by political figures such as Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. She reigned as the leader of the Commonwealth, which comprises 56 nations and a fifth of the world’s population, and as the supreme administrator of the Church of England. The last time the Queen visited Thailand was in 1996. She hosted King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great and Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother during their 1960 state visit to the United Kingdom.
