President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom II this afternoon. He mourned Elizabeth’s death and declared three days of official mourning in the country today. The law was published in the supplementary issue of the Official Gazette this afternoon.
Bolsonaro said on his Twitter account that Brazil took the news with “great regret and emotion”, citing a statement to be made by Elizabeth. The Queen died today at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. The Brazilian government also mourned Elizabeth’s death in an official profile.
“Brazil receives with great sadness and emotion the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, an extraordinary and unique woman whose leadership, humility and love for her country will continue to inspire us and the entire world. At the end of time,” Bolsonaro wrote.
Itamaraty said in a statement that the Brazilian government received the news of the queen’s death “with deep regret” and that Elizabeth was “a symbol of leadership and stability for the country and the world”.
“His visit to Recife, Salvador, Brasilia, São Paulo, Campinas and Rio de Janeiro in 1968 with the Duke of Edinburgh is commemorated by the Government and the Brazilian people as a sign of friendship between Brazil and the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh’ ‘s visit to Brazil is to value the strategic partnership between Brazil and the UK,” says the State Department.
Vice President Hamilton Mourão (Republicans) said it was “a moment of homage to this unique figure of statesman”.
“There is no queen in the world! The queen of our generation, those born in the 1950s, are used to seeing her as a symbol of the UK,” the vice president wrote on his social media account.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Arthur Lira (PP) said the queen’s reign had “witnessed the great transformations the world has undergone in almost a century of her life”.
Ciro Nogueira (PP), Minister of the Civil Assembly, said he was going through “some of the most difficult times in history”. “His trajectory leaves a legacy of devotion to his country. We stand in solidarity with all the people of Great Britain who are suffering from the loss of a world symbol,” he wrote.
The Longest. Elizabeth was the longest-lived monarch in British history and the world’s longest-serving monarch. The Princess of York was born on 21 April 1926 as the third successor to the British throne. His fate changed in 1936 when his uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated.
Thus, Elizabeth’s father became King George VI. At the age of 11, he moved to Buckingham Palace with his family and younger sister, Princess Margaret, and began grooming to one day inherit the throne.

What should happen now? The Queen’s heir, 73-year-old Charles, immediately ascended to the throne. The council that would formally proclaim Charles the new king was held in St. James. On the same day, the prime minister will go to Buckingham Palace to meet with Charles. Shortly after, the newly formed monarch will tour England.
The body is planned to be buried ten days after death. The Queen’s body will be interred in the King George 6 memorial chapel. The coffin will be next to the burial place of Philip, his parents, and his sister, Princess Margaret.
