Pres. Biden Joins World Leaders in Mourning the Death of Queen Elizabeth II

He said, 'Her legacy will loom large... in the story of our world'

President Joe Biden and leaders around the world mourned Queen Elizabeth II, following her death earlier Thursday at the age of 96.

The President and first lady Jill Biden said in a joint statement that the Queen -- the longest-reigning British monarch whose rule spanned seven decades -- "defined an era."

"Today, the thoughts and prayers of people all across the United States are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in their grief," the White House statement said. "We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world."
