The Queen Elizabeth RIP Queen Elizabeth II Unisex TShirt

When Queen Victoria passed away on January 22, 1901, few of her subjects could likely remember a time before she came to the throne. Her reign, which lasted almost 64 years, then the longest in British history, saw the world transformed.

Now more than 120 years later, many people in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and North Ireland and the British Commonwealth, as well as in much of the world, are mourning the passing of Victoria’s great-great-granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II.

In many ways, since this early this morning, when the news was announced that members of the Royal Family were heading to be with the 96-year-old monarch at her Balmoral estate in Scotland, it was almost as if a countdown ticker had been started. As the BBC reported, at Buckingham Palace in London, crowds awaiting updates on the Queen’s condition began crying as they heard of her death. The Union flag on top of the palace was lowered to half-mast at 18:30 BST.

Such was certainly not the case with Queen Victoria. In fact, when she passed away at 6:30 pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) few immediately took notice that evening. In fact, most Britons wouldn’t have even heard the news until reading it in the morning papers the next day.

The British government and the Royal Family have been preparing for this moment for years, anticipating how the news could be quickly announced via TV and radio. What wasn’t likely expected, until recently at least, was how the Internet and social media could also change how word of the queen’s passing could be shared.
