According to British media, on the afternoon of the 8th local time, the 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom passed away. Subsequently, the new British Prime Minister Tras delivered a speech of condolence. Some foreign media said that for the news that the Queen of England is ill, the cabinet members should have known in advance. On the agenda of the National Assembly, cabinet members circulated small notes to each other and discussed them head-to-head, while Prime Minister Tras looked embarrassed.

Small notes were exchanged between cabinets, suspected of knowing the news in advance
On the 8th local time, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom issued an extremely rare statement saying that the queen's health was worrying, and doctors suggested that medical supervision should be accepted. Subsequently, it was reported that Prince Charles and his wife had learned of the news and rushed to Balmoral Castle, and the British people also expressed concern about the Queen's physical condition.
Foreign media said that members of the British cabinet appeared to have learned of the news half an hour before the statement was issued. On the agenda of parliament, Cabinet Minister Zahawi walked quickly to the new Prime Minister, Truss, and quickly handed over a note. After reading the note, Terrass showed a look of disbelief and began to discuss with the other members. The other members who received the note were also very alarmed, and some even looked up at the ceiling, as if thinking about things.
Subsequently, Speaker Hoyer also interrupted the members' speeches, saying that at this moment, on behalf of the British House of Representatives, he would send her most sincere wishes to Her Majesty the Queen, and would pray for Her Majesty and other members of the royal family.

The Queen died and Terrass spoke
Shortly after Buckingham Palace issued a statement that the queen was in poor health, it issued another announcement saying that the queen had calmly left on the afternoon of the 8th. The queen, who reigned for 70 years, came to an end in the legendary life of nearly a hundred years. Just two days ago, the Queen also received the new Prime Minister, Truss, which became the Queen's last appearance in public. At that time, it was reported that the Queen was not in good health, because the back of her hand was full of bruises, probably being treated.
Shortly after the announcement of the Queen's death, The new British Prime Minister, Truss, who had only been in office for two days, delivered a message of condolence. Tras said the death of Her Majesty the Queen had had a huge impact on the UK and the world at large. She also called the Queen "the cornerstone of modern Britain" and said that under the Queen's rule, Britain has grown and developed, and the Queen has provided strength for Britain's stability. She is the spirit of Great Britain, and this spirit will live on in England forever.
Subsequently, Tras also said that the royal crown will be passed to the new monarch, that is, our new king Charles III. She also called for the British people to unite and support King Charles III while mourning the Queen, who would usher in a new era under his leadership.

The Queen is dead and the Prime Minister's crisis is coming
As Tras said, the Queen of England is a "national cornerstone" for The United Kingdom to stabilize and unite the hearts and minds of the British people. Under the impact of the news of the Queen's death, British politics may face a huge crisis.
As the biggest politics, the prime minister is the key factor. Despite receiving the lowest number of votes in nearly two decades, Terras defeated Sunak and became Britain's new prime minister. According to polls, 52% of the British public are very dissatisfied with the new prime minister.
What Terrass wants to take over from Johnson is a crisis-ridden Britain: inflation rates exceed 10%; Support for Ukraine led to a serious energy crisis at home, and popular discontent peaked; The aftermath of Brexit is gradually emerging; This series of problems will become difficult equations for Terrass to solve.
In addition, as the key to the unity of the Commonwealth, the death of the Queen may cause the Commonwealth to fall apart from then on. The Australian side has previously said that after the queen's death, Australia will discuss a new successor, and perhaps a "republic" will become possible. In addition, countries such as Jamaica have shown the same willingness.
Therefore, for the next development trend of the "Sun Never Sets Empire", let's wait and see.
