THE ROYAL FAMILY MAKES MAJOR CHANGE TO ITS WEBSITE FOLLOWING THE QUEEN'S DEATH
By KATHRYN COOK
The royal family's website at royal.uk has undergone a big change following Queen Elizabeth II's death. The site's entire homepage is now dedicated to the queen, who ruled for 70 years; the new landing page features a black background with bold white font that reads "Queen Elizabeth II" and her years of life, "1926-2022."
The site also showcases an older photo of Queen Elizabeth wearing a crown, as well as a somber message: "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 note includes her date of death, September 8, 2022.
It appears that site developers are still working on other pages of the website, since visitors cannot navigate past the homepage as of September 8. All other aspects of the site have been taken down, replaced with the message, "The official website of the Royal Family is temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made."
Prior to her death, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson shared news of Queen Elizabeth's health" "Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision." Hours later, it was announced that the queen had died at 96.
