The Queen’s cause of death has been revealed and it’s not the answer many might have thought.
Most thought maybe it was due to her being sick and succumbing to illness, but it was revealed Queen Elizabeth II’s actual death was caused by ‘old age’.
The National Records of Scotland released the sovereign’s death certificate on Thursday, with Her Majesty’s daughter, Princess Anne, listed as the informant of her death.
The certificate also revealed that Elizabeth died at 3:10 p.m. Sept. 8.
The royal family announced the Queen’s passing three hours later, sharing in a tweet, “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
The news came after Buckingham Palace announced that she had been put under medical supervision amid rising health concerns.
Family members swiftly rushed to be by her side before she passed.
King Charles, 73, issued a statement on her loss, sharing that her death “is a moment of the greatest sadness.”
“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world,” he said.
The Queen is survived by Charles, Anne, Andrew and her youngest son, Prince Edward, as well as eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandkids.
