Queen Elizabeth II

We are deeply saddened at the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and we extend our deepest condolences to the Royal Family on behalf of the entire Merchant Taylors’ community.

As the longest-reigning monarch in our history, Queen Elizabeth devoted her life to the service of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. The legacy of her work through her sense of service and duty and the way she sought to seek consensus and reconciliation amongst others will endure in the lives and memories of families across the world.

Over the coming days and weeks, we will all mourn her loss in different ways and reflect on the impact that her death may have on those who have also lost loved ones in recent times.

As a community, we will also come together to mark her incredible life and say ‘thank you’ for everything she has done.
