Queen Elizabeth is the current monarch and head of state in the Bahamas
Queen Elizabeth is sending a heartfelt message of condolence to the people of the Bahamas in the wake of Hurricane Dorian — the devastating storm that has battered the island nation for more than a day.
In a message to the Governor-General of the Bahamas on Tuesday, the monarch said: “Prince Philip and I have been shocked and saddened to learn of the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian, and we send our sincere condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives following this terrible storm.
“At this very difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with those who have seen their homes and property destroyed, and I also send my gratitude to the emergency services and volunteers who are supporting the rescue and recovery effort.”
She signed the message, “Elizabeth R.” The royal signs official documents “Elizabeth R.” The R stands for Regina, which means “queen.”
