I'd give her 99% for that performance. I think you're right - the press were extremely inconsiderate to display such overt inconsiderate behaviour to a family who had just lost their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. An apology to those affected would be in order from those responsible I feel. Of course, that could be anyone, so perhaps it should be public instead of private? I certainly don't need it, but perhaps there were some that really could have done with that self centered behaviour being put to rights.

She was caught unprepared with a sudden headline yet she composed herself so well- displays true professional in the presence of media and journalists.

That young lady is an utterly professional person - and I think our late queen would be the first to applaude her on the way she handled it. What a shock for her, to have to make an impromptu response to such a story, and knowing you will be recorded for ever for what you will do and say. Two different British newsreaders last night were fighting to hold back their tears too. Thank you, all those people who have shown such respect.

I love this! I read this caption and I had to see her getting updated by the reporters which is, I’ve come to realize, how she finds out about what is going on in our country. It’s her job to inform America but she is always so ill prepared that she ends up getting information from the reporters instead of the other way around. She is always scheduling a briefing and a reporter will say, “What does the president think about this or that and she gets all confused and is like, what? Is this true? Where did you hear that? Meanwhile, I’m sitting there thinking ,I EVEN KNEW THAT!!! How, judging by the definition of her job does she know less of the goings on then the general population and journalists. I know, this is breaking news so this may not be the best example but there are so many! My favorite one was when a reporter asked her how The White House felt about the fact that 20 States officially signed up in support of Texas and she was like - WHHHHAAT????? I’m watching this as it happens think holy smokes lady, this is literally yesterday’s news, you called a meeting to discuss this subject and you didn’t know that? She is a failure and an embarrassment!

The press exists to sell its self.. emotions are only for playing with 0

The way those journalists conducted themselves was beyond disgusting and despicable. Sounded like a bunch of children rushing to get the answer right for a candy reward. A major world monarch has passed, learn how to conduct yourself! this is how they reacted while in the Whitehouse of all places.. geez.

Cannot believe its been a year since the Queen's death

I’m really thankful to see that I’m not the only one who thought that our media folx were completely rude in how they blurted out this news. I’m also so proud of how she maintained her composure, and deferred any major commentary to the President. She was incredibly professional and, yet again, the American media is shown to be super unprofessional. Now imagine if the press secretary had been a Trumper…

As weird as it sounds, that's what actually happens. The Moment of death marks the official end of the Monarch's reign, and it automatically passes to the Heir who in this case became King Charles III at the moment of his mother's death. Tradtion would dictate that we shout "The Queen is dead, long live the King!".

Kudos to her for handling the surprise announcement (even rudely thrown at her) professionally. If I were in her shoes, I might have screamed on the spot.

I find it extremely rude to interrupt someone during a briefing. At least someone should have gone up stage and whispered it in to her instead.

Every press secretary’s nightmare.

She did very well there. Very professional. I don't think that situation could have been handled any better.

Such professionalism from the speaker 💜

Would be such a shock imagine giving a brief then that happens.. wow!

Very thoughtless and dismissive response. She doesn't want to "get ahead of that"…the Queen is dead. How about a bit of genuine human compassion.

Surely she should have had an earpiece to tell her so. Also, it was a bit rude of the reporters to shout it at her like that "The queen's dead" no excuse me or anything.

Wow, she is impressive, polite and calm!

She handled that quite eloquently!

Had to have been hard to keep composure and be able to find the words to say with so many eyes on you during that major announcement.. and not stepping in front of what she knew the president would want to say.. kudos. Great job

she absolutely nailed it! she was out on the sport she answered politely without step in too much.

I do not like this administration or press secretary, but here she shows dignity and respect and I thank you for that. ❤️🇬🇧

Such an intelligent woman over there, the way she navigated that "ambush", as it seemed.

The lady could so easily have bodged the job and for a moment I thought she was going to. But credit lies where it is due. Thank you, miss.

Wow. I wish I had half her calm and composure. I applaud you.

I admire that she took a few seconds to gather herself after hearing the news and then handled it with dignity and respect. Very professional

I live in Russia in the Moscow region and I sincerely condole with the people of Great Britain. Her Majesty will always be a magnificent example of a strong-willed woman with excellent manners following her duty.

I love her voice. She handled this great as well
