Queen Elizabeth II Cause of Death: Extracts of Death Certificate Revealed
The cause of death for Queen Elizabeth II has now been announced.
On September 8, about 12:35 p.m. UK time, Buckingham Palace issued a statement stating that the 96-year-old queen was under medical monitoring after physicians grew worried about her health.
The 96-year-old died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at 3:10 PM UK time on the same day, more than three hours before the public was told.
Queen Elizabeth II died of "old age," according to the death certificate provided by the National Records of Scotland, per the Daily Mail.
It further alleged that Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, was the informant of her death.
The former monarch's occupation as "Her Majesty The Queen" on the historical record suggests that only King Charles III and Princess Anne were by her side when she died in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
