Epi 63: Global perspectives – What does Queen Elizabeth II passing away mean for you and me

Full Episode description

Queen Elizabeth II, the oldest reigning British monarch recently passed away. She had ruled Britain for over 70 years and had many firsts to her name. Including, the first monarch to send an email. If the word 'queen' brings to your mind images of a lady declaring wars and riding her army into the battleground, well, this is not the royal duty she discharged. Kings and queens in the modern world don't have the power they had earlier. In this episode, 11-year old Adya explains how they are really different.

Now that the queen has passed away, and her son King Charles III has ascended the throne (at the age of 73), does that change anything in the world? How does that affect people like you and me? Or does it only change things in Britain? Listen to the episode in full to find answers to this and more.
