The National Records of Scotland has unveiled a portion of Queen Elizabeth II’s death certificate, shedding light on the official cause of the monarch’s passing.
Today marked the public revelation of Queen Elizabeth II’s cause of death, satisfying the curiosity of many Britons.
A segment of the late monarch’s death certificate has been made accessible by the National Records of Scotland, allowing people to finally understand the circumstances surrounding her demise after weeks of anticipation.
The formal death certificate for Queen Elizabeth II was released this afternoon by the National Records of Scotland.
According to the paperwork signed by Paul Lowe, the Registrar General for Scotland, the monarch’s death was officially recorded in Aberdeenshire on September 16, 2022.
The document indicates that Queen Elizabeth II passed away on Thursday, September 8, at 3:10 pm, with her advanced age cited as the official cause of death.
The disclosure comes shortly after Buckingham Palace issued a statement expressing concerns about the Queen’s health.
Following medical supervision being announced around 1 pm on September 8, the Queen was reported to be comfortable in Scotland.
Despite many employees of the firm traveling to Balmoral to see her, the Queen’s passing occurred while only King Charles III, the Queen Consort, and Anne, the Princess Royal, were present due to their ongoing official duties in Scotland.
Newly elected Prime Minister Liz Truss received the news of the Queen’s passing around 4:30 pm on September 8, nearly two weeks before a state funeral was held for the monarch on September 19.
The funeral procession saw her family accompanying her to her final resting place in Windsor during a solemn ceremony.
In a separate development, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have issued a warning of a potential storm brewing within the royal family following the removal of the Queen as a barrier.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s actions may lead to upheaval within the royal household, despite shared grief over the Queen’s passing among other members of the family.
Sky News contributor Daisy Cousins highlighted the absence of the Queen as a potential catalyst for discord, noting Meghan’s past rejection of Camilla’s attempts at friendship and counsel.
With the Queen no longer mediating tensions between Meghan, Harry, and the rest of the royal family, a significant storm could be on the horizon, as indicated by royal biographer Angela Levin.
Since stepping back from their roles as active royals, Harry and Meghan have been vocal about their experiences within the royal family, including allegations of racism and lack of support during Meghan’s struggles.
Their forthcoming autobiography promises to provide an unfiltered account of their lives, further intensifying tensions within the royal household.
Harry’s recent remarks during an interview in The Hague hinted at his desire to protect his grandmother and ensure she is surrounded by the right people.
These comments, along with the anticipation of his upcoming autobiography, are likely to deepen existing rifts within the royal family, particularly with his father and brother, raising questions about the future dynamics of the monarchy.
