Elizabeth II reigned over so many territories worldwide including close to home. She was in royal terms a monarch. Yet within her family, titles were common to anyone - daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother.
I am one year younger than William and one year older than Harry, so I would be inclined to see their grandmother as my grandmother.
When my grandmother passed away last September, I was devastated and heartbroken because she was my best friend, the love of my life, and my soulmate. I felt lost and could not function mentally and emotionally.
I cannot imagine how William and Harry feel when their Granny - who happened to be the Queen of England - passed away. I am so sad for them. I am sad for their children who will never really know their great-grandmother.
The legacy of Her Majesty Elizabeth II will live forever.
Rest in peace.
