“I think this will be an international trauma that’s going to last for probably months and years,” one history professor predicted of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing.
Throughout Elizabeth’s seven decades on the throne, she served as an important figurehead for the U.K. and the Commonwealth during many of the 20th century’s biggest moments and times of enormous social change. She became widely respected at home and abroad. She was the only sovereign most people had ever known.
McCreery, whose main research field is monarchy and colonialism, predicted how the response in Britain to Elizabeth’s death will have the same profound impact as that of Princess Diana in 1997. "I think if we reflect back on the response in Britain ... to the death of Princess Diana, which obviously was a very different context because it was a young woman in the prime of life and it was a very shocking and sudden accident, but nevertheless, that sort of collective hysteria I think is actually going to pale with response to Elizabeth," McCreery said.
"I think it will be different. I don’t think it will be as sharp ... but I think it will have the same long-term impact. I think it will be a nationwide grief," McCreery continued.Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, died surrounded by her family after more than 70 years on the throne.
