Former British Prime Minister Shares How Queen Elizabeth Handled Princess Diana’s Death

Former British prime minister Tony Blair shared his thoughts Tuesday on how 👑Queen Elizabeth ll handled 👑Princess diana’s death.

Blair, who was the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007, sat down with the “Today” show about the part he played in urging the Queen to make a statement after the death of 👑Princess diana, and how she had to balance consoling her grandsons and also consoling the nation.

“It was difficult, but here’s the thing, for her, she was trying to balance what she had to do as a queen and what she had to do as a grandmother,” Blair said. “And she was acutely aware that she had two young, young children who had lost their mother in terrible circumstances, and who were grieving and who needed to be looked after.”

Blair explained that in the end, 👑Queen Elizabeth understood that her duty always came first and that she had to respond to this “extraordinary outpouring of grief” about the passing of 👑Princess diana
