The Royal Family updated its website moments after the world started reacting to news of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

The website, which is otherwise temporarily unavailable, displays an image of the monarch and a comment that reads, "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." The dates that appear on the page are Her Royal Highness' lifespan (1926 - 2022) as well as the date of her death, Sept. 8, 2022.

"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era," President Joe Biden said in his statement.

"Spending time at Buckingham Palace, and having tea with Her Majesty — and her Corgis — is among our fondest memories of the presidency," Bush wrote in his statement. "Queen Elizabeth ably led England through dark moments with her confidence in her people and her vision for a brighter tomorrow," former U.S. president George W. Bush shared in his reaction.
