I have never known any monarch on the throne apart from her. I have had the absolute honor to have served the queen for all my career, I was born after she reigned so this is a profound moment for us.

These are remarks by British High Commissioner to Uganda H.E Kate Airey in mourning the Queen of England, Elizabeth II who passed away Thursday, at her Scottish estate, officially known as the Balmoral Castle.

Her phenomenal sense of duty, public service but also the dignity and grace with which she did that, was an inspiration to many of us as British diplomats serving overseas, we look forward to serving King Charles now going forward.

According to H.E Airey One of the Queens legacies is the Common wealth family, which started off with just a collection of 7 countries, and has now grown to 56 strong nations through her unwavering strength and leadership,

“There shouldn’t be any worry about any changes with her demise, the British monarch and the Queen herself championed continuity” we highly believe that King Charles will manage well.
