Elizabeth II of the UK has passed away: farewell to a great woman and a worthy Queen"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-61585886\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> passed away at the age of 96. She is the person who has occupied the throne of England the longest: 70 years and 214 days.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>In addition to the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II was recognized as Queen by other countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations:<\/strong> Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu. <strong>To the readers who can read me from those countries I send my condolences for the death of her Queen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the lesser or greater sympathy that each one feels for their country (which has my respect and which I value as an ally, regardless of the historical differences that separate it from Spain), <strong>Elizabeth II was a great woman and has behaved like a worthy Queen<\/strong>, something less and less common in current monarchies. In all these years <strong>she has managed to earn the respect and appreciation of her people, and also that of people from other countries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wish her successor on the throne a good reign and that he knows how to live up to his mother. With the death of Elizabeth II <strong>a long stage in the history of the United Kingdom ends<\/strong>, in which she did not hesitate to enlist in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during the World War II to serve her country, and in which her father had a very important role standing by his people while the German bombers attacked London.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The United Kingdom and the other monarchies in which Elizabeth reigned now face a difficult future<\/strong>, as for several generations its citizens have known no other monarch than her. In the current circumstances, <strong>when the world is facing such dangerous challenges<\/strong> as Russian imperialism and the growing threat from China, I hope that the new King can and knows how to give continuity to an institution like the British crown, which it is very important for a country that occupies a prominent place in Europe and throughout the West.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rest in peace.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photo: BBC.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This afternoon Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96.
