When she died in 2022, Queen Elizabeth II was the only monarch most Britons had ever known.
Even now, mention of “the queen” is more likely to evoke thoughts of Elizabeth than of Queen Camilla, the wife of the reigning King Charles III. But the passage of time has also tarnished the late queen’s legacy.
While she is celebrated as a symbol of tradition and continuity who help unite Britain as the end of empire, economic struggles and mass migration changed the nation’s perception of itself, revelations about the former Prince Andrew’s links to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have raised questions about why she let the problem fester for years.
