‘Grief Is The Price We Pay For Love’ – Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says it is a day of profound grief and sadness as Australia mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96.

“With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, an historic reign and a long life devoted to duty, family, faith and service has come to an end,” Mr Albanese said.

“There is comfort to be found in Her Majesty’s own words: Grief is the price we pay for love.” “This is a loss we feel deeply in Australia,” Mr Albanese said.

“Queen Elizabeth II is the only reigning monarch most of us have known, and the only one to ever visit Australia.

“Through the noise and turbulence of the years, she embodied and exhibited a timeless decency and enduring calm.

“From her first trip here, it was clear Her Majesty had a special place in our hearts, and we, in hers.”
