Queen Elizabeth II, who has died age 96 after the longest reign in British history, will be mourned around the globe as one of the last monarchs born to a classic age of European royalty, when kings and queens wielded genuine political power.
A wasted life. She could have and should have done things to make the world a better place. She did none of that.
We can only hope that King Charles III, with all his power, does more than sit on the throne.
