Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was the most striking example of commitment and dedication to duty of any global figure of her generation.

It is with a deep sense of loss and sadness that we pay tribute to her lifetime of devotion, lasting over 70 years.  As head of the Commonwealth she was indeed a unifying queen of hearts - to the people of the United Kingdom the Queen represented sovereign leadership and a rallying figure of national pride, a beacon of stability and an inspiring example of public service.

To friend and foe she has left an enduring legacy that will long be unmatched.

Her Majesty’s Government in the Turks and Caicos Islands mourn with the Government and people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth and extend sincere condolences to King Charles III and the entire Royal Family on the passing of a singularly iconic monarchial figure of her time.

May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.
