After a 70-year-long reign, Queen Elizaberh II has passed away at age 96, but it’s unlikely the palace will comment on her cause of death.
The news of her passing was announced by the Buckingham Palace on early Friday morning, Australian time, at her Scottish country residence, Balmoral Castle.
The news has followed just one day after her doctors advised that she rest for another two weeks after a ‘full day’ meeting the new United Kingdom Prime Minister, Liz Truss.
This was the Queen’s final meeting.

As of doctors orders, the Queen also postponed the Privy Council meeting and the 1000-mile round trip around Scotland due to mobility issues.
Over the previous few months, there have been concerns over the Queens health. Especially in the more recent days, fans noticed her petite frame, a significant bruise on her right hand and she relied on a walking stick.
“The queen looks so fragile,” one user observed.
Prince Philip passed away in 2021.

In February 2022, the Queen contracted Coronavirus and was also hospitalised in October 2021 for an undisclosed reason.
King Charles, who will now take the throne, also issued a statement about his loss.
“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” His Majesty said.
She was the longest reigning British monarch.

The Buckingham Palace announced the queen has died “peacefully” but no other information about her passing has been released.
It is unlikely the palace will publish any specific details about her cause of death or any illnesses the Queen experinced in her final days.
