EL PAÍS in English

Dear readers,

Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, died Thursday at the age of 96 at her Scottish residence. EL PAÍS looked back on her 70 years on the throne, from her influence on pop culture to her role in guiding the United Kingdom's transformation from colonial power to what it is today.

We also examined the protocols surrounding Charles' accession to the throne, and the current line of succession, from Prince William to Princess Anne, who is 14th in line. Lastly, we profiled the man who is now known as Charles III.

In other news, we analyzed the rhetoric of "pain and sacrifice" used to describe the world's financial situation, talked to political scientist Francis Fukuyama about his latest book, and asked tennis star Garbiñe Muguruza what Serena Williams has meant to her and to the sport.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS English Edition. Thanks for reading.
