Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:27 pm on 11 September 2022.
Her Majesty was a friend to Wales, and many here in the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and further afield will miss her greatly. Our thoughts and prayers, of course, are with the royal family, but also people in all corners of the United Kingdom who have been touched by the charitable work and leadership of Elizabeth II. The wave of sympathy that we've seen from people and politicians across the globe demonstrates how many lives Queen Elizabeth II touched, as well as the hope, the dignity and the honour that she embodied for so many. Just as Her Majesty the Queen stood shoulder to shoulder with us as society changed, we now look to His Majesty the King as he seeks to lead the nation with the same dignity, honour and commitment as Elizabeth II. God save the King. Thank you.
