Her Majesty was just 25 years old when she assumed command of one of the world’s largest democracies. She would go on to make the role of Queen her in the decades that followed, with a reign distinguished by grace, elegance, and a relentless work ethic, overcoming the obstacles and standards put on women of her period.
She was the first female royal to serve on active military service during World War II. And she stood as a beacon of optimism and stability for the individuals of the United Kingdom and the world during moments of success and stagnation—from the moon landing to the collapse of the Berlin Wall to the birth of the digital age.
Her Majesty collaborated with 15 Prime Ministers and a plethora of foreign heads of state. She paid close attention, strategized, and was accountable for significant diplomatic successes. She carried her lofty titles with a light touch, as ready to appear in a comedic comedy for the London Olympics as she was to record reassuring words for the citizens of the UK during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Michelle and he had the good fortune to meet Her Majesty, and she meant a lot to them. She greeted them on the world stage with open arms and remarkable kindness when they were just getting their bearings as President and First Lady. They were impressed time and again by her kindness, the comfort with which she put individuals at ease, and the way she brought her enormous wit and elegance to occasions of great pomp and grandeur.
Michelle and Obama himself, like so many others, are thankful to have observed Her Majesty’s committed leadership, and they are inspired by her legacy of selfless, honourable public service. During this sad moment, their thoughts are with her family and the people of the United Kingdom.
