Death certificate published: Authority announces cause of death of the Queen

Queen Elizabeth II dies at Balmoral Castle on September 8th at the age of 96. Before her death, the monarch had been struggling with health problems for a long time. Her death certificate, which has now been published, provides information about the cause of her death and who informed the authorities.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has died of old age. This emerges from the death certificate of the monarch, who died on September 8 at the age of 96 on her Scottish country estate of Balmoral. She died at 3.10pm local time (4.10pm BST), according to the excerpt of the document released by a Scottish authority.

According to the death certificate, the authorities were informed of the death of the Queen by her daughter Princess Anne. "I was lucky enough to spend the last 24 hours of my mother's life with her," the 72-year-old said after the Queen's death. The public learned at 6:30 p.m. local time that the monarch "died peacefully at Balmoral Castle".

In the weeks and months before her death, the 96-year-old repeatedly had to cancel appointments for health reasons such as limited mobility. When it finally became apparent on September 8 that the 96-year-old was in a bad way, high-ranking members of the royal family rushed to Balmoral Castle. In addition to Princess Anne, the present King Charles and his wife Camilla were also present. However, the Queen's other children, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, and their grandchildren, Prince William and Prince Harry, did not make it to their deathbeds in time.

Elizabeth II was buried on September 19 in a historic state funeral in the grounds of Windsor Castle. The castle and the church in which she was buried have been open to visitors again since Thursday. Hundreds of people crowded in front of the castle west of London. The Queen was buried in a side chapel of the church alongside her husband Prince Philip, who died last year, her sister Margaret and her parents.
