President Joe Biden Releases Long Statement of Mourning on the Loss of Queen Elizabeth II
President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, released a joint statement that can be read below:
“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is more than a king. He defined an era.”
“In an ever-changing world, he was a constant presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who would never have known their country without him. An enduring admiration for Queen Elizabeth II unites people across the Commonwealth. His history-making seven decades of rule bore witness to an unprecedented era of human progress and a march forward of human dignity.
“He is the first British monarch to whom people around the world can feel a personal and immediate connection—whether they listen to him on the radio as the young princess speaks to the children of the United Kingdom, or gather around their televisions for his coronation. , or watch his last Christmas or Platinum Jubilee speech on their phone. And he, in turn, dedicated his whole life to their service.
“Supported by her beloved Prince Philip for 73 years, Queen Elizabeth II has always led with grace, unwavering commitment to duty, and unparalleled authority by example. He braved the dangers and privations of world war alongside the British people and rallied them during the devastation of a global pandemic to see a better day ahead. Through her dedication to her patronage and charities, she supports causes that lift people’s spirits and expand opportunities. By showing friendship and respect to newly independent nations around the world, he advanced the cause of freedom and fostered lasting bonds that helped strengthen the Commonwealth, which he loved so much, into a community to promote peace and shared values.
“Queen Elizabeth II is a statesman of unparalleled dignity and firmness who deepens the fundamental Alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. He helped make our relationship special.
“We first met the Queen in 1982, traveling to the UK as part of a Senate delegation. And we are honored that he extended his hospitality to us in June 2021 during our first overseas visit as President and First Lady, where he captivated us with his wit, moved us with his kindness, and generously shared his wisdom. All told, he met 14 American presidents. He helped Americans commemorate both the anniversary of the founding of Jamestown and the bicentennial of our independence. And he stood in solidarity with the United States during our darkest days after 9/11, when he poignantly reminded us that “Sorrow is the price we pay for love.”
In the years to come, we look forward to continuing our close friendship with The King and The Queen Consort. Today, the thoughts and prayers of people across the United States are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in their grief. Our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their beloved mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers. His legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world.”
