The official Daphne du Maurier website, approved by her Estate
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Queen Elizabeth, our longest serving and most dearly beloved Monarch, died peacefully at Balmoral Castle this afternoon, 8th September 2022. Everyone will have their own thoughts on her importance to our country, the Commonwealth, and the wider world, throughout her long reign. Her sense of duty, her selflessness, her wealth of experience, and her stoicism in times of crisis are just a few phrases that spring to mind as we think about her. She was loved and admired throughout the world and was the best face of the United Kingdom. Here at the Daphne du Maurier website, we have no more words today; simply a desire to share this sad moment and our immense regard for our dear Queen with you all.
