Queen Elizabeth II, who ruled Britain for the longest period of time and served as the country’s symbol for seven decades, passed away quietly at Balmoral. Strong links were maintained with Pakistan by the 96-year-old Queen, who visited the country twice between 1961 and 1997.

Queen Elizabeth II ruled over 15 nations. Her family gathered at her Scottish estate earlier yesterday as her health started to become a concern.

And now that the Queen has passed away, Prince Charles has assumed the throne and been given the title of King of England. Prince William is anticipated to succeed the current Prince of Wales as the direct successor to the monarch.

The late Queen travelled to Pakistan twice throughout her 70-year reign, in 1961 and 1997, along with her spouse Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. She travelled across the nation, stopping at Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Lahore, and other cities.
