According to a statement by Obama and his wife, Michelle, the Queen who worked with 15 United Kingdom’s Prime Ministers was a great who “listened deeply.”

“Her Majesty worked with 15 Prime Ministers and countless foreign heads of state,” the Obamas said in a statement.

“She listened deeply, thought strategically, and was responsible for considerable diplomatic achievements. And yet, she wore her lofty titles with a light touch—as willing to act in a comic sketch for the London Olympics as she was to record steadying messages for the people of the UK during the COVID-19 lockdowns.”
