The speaker House of Representatives in America, Nancy Pelosi has ordered that the flags at the capitol be flown at half mast due to the death of Queen Elizabeth ll.
The Queen passed at the age of 96 after a brief illness.
Few minutes after the announcement of queen Elizabeth ll messages, condolences and remembrances have started to pour in.
The American flag is typically flown at half-staff during periods of mourning for U.S. officials and tragedies, but occasionally is flown at half-staff to mark the death of foreign dignitaries.
After the British monarch dies, his or her replacement takes over immediately.
A series of formal steps, carefully choreographed over centuries, are set into motion. An “Accession Council” typically meets within 24 hours of the monarch’s death, usually at St. James’s Palace, where many important events in royal history have taken place. The last family occasion to take place there was the 2018 christening of Prince Louis, the youngest son of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
The council formally declares the death of the monarch and the accession of the successor to the throne, according to the Privy Council, a formal advisory body to the monarch. The Accession Council is presided over by the lord president of the Privy Council — currently Penny Mordaunt, a Conservative member of Parliament and the leader of the House of Commons. The mayor of London and high commissioners of the “realms” — the 14 Commonwealth countries in which the queen remains the head of state — are also invited.
