On the afternoon of September 8, I flew into Washington, DC for two days of personal activities, the bonus being that I was able to spend the evening with a Macedonian friend celebrating Macedonia’s independence. As soon as I switched my phone off from airplane mode, however, I received news from a Macedonian friend that Queen Elizabeth II had passed on. It was a bit of a shock, having seen the news earlier that day that she was under medical supervision. I had expected worsening news but not the worst news.
