She was not my Queen but I still feel a sense of loss. She was THE Queen.

1. I think the entire free world will miss her steady hand and kindness. Truly a great lady.

2. I have relatives in England.

I emailed them earlier today. They've been expecting it, but it's still a shock after all these years. She was the only Queen they ever knew.

They're not too keen on King Charles the III at this point, but they may warm to him.

It's sad when someone who was on the world stage as long as she loses their life. I must admit to a few tears myself when I heard the news. She was a great monarch.

3. Yes, I'm having a hard time realizing she's gone

she's been Queen my whole life, there's been no other. 💔

4. Same here! And for most people throughout Britain and the world

It's tough to imagine the world without her.

6. She was the WWII generation and devoted to duty. I don't think we'll see her like again.

7. In a world with too few women leaders, Queen Elizabeth II was one of a kind

She will be greatly missed.
