The queen’s death brings a moment of reckoning for Britain.
LONDON — The death of Queen Elizabeth II is a watershed moment for Britain, at once incomparable and incalculable.

It marks both the loss of a revered monarch — the only one most Britons have ever known — and the end of a figure who served as a living link to the glories of World War II Britain, presided over its fitful adjustment to a post-colonial, post-imperial era and saw it through its bitter divorce from the European Union.

Charles is "steeped in the future," CNN anchor says as royal family looks ahead to next chapter

Charles, who is now King following Queen Elizabeth II's death, now has the job of uniting the United Kingdom, Richard Quest, CNN anchor and correspondent, said.

Other than the years where is personal life created scandal, Charles "has served the country loyally and with great dignity over many years," Quest said on CNN.

One strength Charles has as the monarchy starts its new chapter, Quest said, is his forward thinking.

"He is steeped in the future. He was ahead of the game with environmental issues. He was ahead of the game on climate change. He's ahead of the game on a lot of thoughts that are now normal — he was suggesting years ago," Quest said.

"Then he will have the job of uniting the United Kingdom at a time when there are such great fears and unease," he added.

Even as someone outside of the fold of European affairs in general, I find the speed at which the headlines have moved from “Queen hospitalized” to “Queen dies” to “looking into the future” completely dizzying.

I would ask if this seems/feels typical of the passing of a monarch, but so few people alive now would even have an answer…
