Ambassador Marin Raykov on Elizabeth II: She knew a lot about Bulgaria

It is very difficult to give a description of an era in a few sentences. Indeed, the death of Queen Elizabeth II is the end of an era. Just months ago we celebrated her platinum jubilee. This is what our ambassador to Great Britain Marin Raykov said in "The Day Begins".

"Hours before her death she summoned the strength to do her duty to induct the new Prime Minister, Liz Truss. Elizabeth II is a witness of history, of a whole era," Marin Raykov added.

In his words, it had no prescriptive functions, but its influence on domestic and foreign policy was indeed enormous.

"She insisted on exuding authority and dignity, but also great cordiality. "

"She knew quite a few things about Bulgaria. She had familiarised herself in some detail with the main themes in our bilateral relations with Britain. Of course, she also has personal relations with Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, so it is more than obvious that there were other topics that interested her," said our ambassador to the UK Marin Raykov.

He added that continuity would be the main mission of the new King Charles III.
