Queen Elizabeth II, We give our condolences

Everyone here at Velasquez Legal sends our condolences to the Royal Family in their time of mourning.

September 8th 2022, will be remembered as the day we lost an important individual. Queen Elizabeth II passed peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. 

Born into the Royal Family, she was never anticipated to ascend to the throne.

When her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated the kingdom in 1936, transferring the crown and all responsibilities to her father, her life took a dramatic change, one of incalculable consequence.

Instantaneously, she became the heir apparent to the crown.

Her succession in 1952, at the age of 25, occurred earlier than many had anticipated. Her father unfortunately passed leaving the throne vacant for his young daughter. Her actual coronation took place in 1953 at Westminster Abbey, at the age of 27, when she was crowned queen.

She would become the longest-reigning British monarch with 70 years on the throne, guiding her kingdom and Commonwealth through the Cold War and space race, revolutions in Eastern and Central Europe, the advent of the internet, the British Invasion, the war on terror and London tube bombings, and the formation of the European Union. She was there for it all. She was always there, and now It's an odd feeling. She has been a constant throughout all of our lives and now it is changing. She was beloved and will continue to be for years to come. May she rest in peace.
