During her reign, the Queen shepherded her kingdom through economic turbulence, war, and personal loss.\n\n\u201cWhen she turned 18, then-Princess Elizabeth heroically joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the women\u2019s branch of the British Army during World War II, becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to serve in active duty. At 25 years old, she assumed the throne following the death of her father, King George VI. It was her steady stewardship, including meetings with 14 different U.S. presidents, that brought the United States and the United Kingdom closer together and strengthened our \u2018special relationship\u2019 that thrives to this day.\n\n\u201cAs we mourn Her Majesty, we remember and cherish the longest-living and longest-reigning British monarch in world history who always put the people of the United Kingdom first. Our prayers remain with her family and the British people.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:08:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://scalise.house.gov/media/press-releases/scalise-statement-passing-queen-elizabeth-ii"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.4479348212480545, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
