As her reign fuelled widespread revolution that altered the very landscape of the nation.

Politically, culturally and technologically, the Queen’s leadership was unwavering, and her wish was for this lead to stand the test of time.

History shows, the royal family is not immune from life’s challenges and controversies.

But through turbulent times, the Queens poise, strength and class always prevailed.

Above everything else, she was a constant. The ever-reliable presence holding the royal family together.

Contributor Cei Dewar, was lucky enough to meet the Queen and says millions around the world are mourning her loss, and everything she represents.

Monarchy fights for survival

As the world waves goodbye to Her Majesty, the monarchy fights for survival, finding its way forward without Queen Elizabeth II.

King Charles III is at the reigns, inheriting the lead on what the royal family becomes.

The King is taking the reign on a very different world.

He will be exposed to public scrutiny like never before, the internet phenomenon, and a world where Republicans are on the rise. 

However, His Majesty has expressed his determination to focus on diversity, climate change action and maintain the institutions relevance on the global diplomatic stage. 

King Charles’ tumultuous personal life was often the downfall of his popularity, but now, he has pledged his life to serve as King.

Charles’ reputation slipped after the death of Diana, and ever since he has worked to build his popularity. 

But solidarity within his own family will be the key driver of success.

Notably, Prince William and Harry have already showed their reconciled solidarity. Standing side by side, reunited in grief.

Their relationship will be paramount to conserving the monarchy. 

While the future of the monarchy hangs in the balance, it will be difficult for King Charles the III to fill the shoes of his late mother. As well as connect with the national psyche and be a reassuring presence. 

Most people don’t know a world without Queen Elizabeth II, and although saying goodbye is heartbreaking, a new reign now begins. 

Perhaps, the rise of Charles to the throne will be the injection of change the royal family needs to last beyond the 21st century. 

A big job lies ahead. For now, the world has his pledge and actions will speak for themselves. 

Charles the King, a role he has been waiting for his entire life.
