Congressional lawmakers and high-profile U.S. politicians, including former presidents, expressed gratitude for Queen Elizabeth's historic reign while mourning the "entire world's loss" after her passing Thursday at the age of 96.

Lawmakers from both of sides of the aisle issued statements praising the fallen monarch's steadfast leadership during her long reign over the United Kingdom.

"Today all Americans stand with our great friends across the Atlantic in mourning the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "For 70 long years, from the aftermath of World War II well into the 21st century, across 15 different Prime Ministers, through great triumphs and great challenges, the Queen’s steady leadership safeguarded the land she loved."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Elizabeth offered a "masterclass in grace and strength, power and poise" when ordering flags to fly at half-staff over the U.S. Capitol.

"Queen Elizabeth embodied the highest spirit of civic duty: earning the reverence of her people and the respect of the world," said Pelosi, D-Calif.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the queen represented what it means to "lead with conviction."

"Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II represented what it means to lead with conviction, selflessness, and true faith in God and in her people. She ascended to the throne at the young age of 25 and as Queen clearly fulfilled her promise to dedicate ‘whole life’ to serving her people. During Her Majesty’s historic reign, she touched the lives of millions with her strong sense of duty and unwavering commitment to freedom. Her Majesty led her people with grace, demonstrating what servant-leadership means in principle and in practice. Future generations of men and women should learn from the incredible life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II," said McCarthy in a statement.

Condolences also poured in from current and former U.S. heads of state.

President Biden and first lady Jill Biden called her a "stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy" who deepened the alliance between the U.S. and the U.K., and whose "legacy will loom large."
