Queen Elizabeth's Cause of Death Revealed in New Document
Everything changed for the United Kingdom when Queen Elizabeth II died earlier this month. The moment the news broke, the British royal family immediately shifted ranks, and King Charles III became the new sovereign. At the same time, a plan of action titled Operation LONDON BRIDGE kicked into gear, and arrangements were made to begin the mourning process for the late monarch.
In the early morning of September 8, the world got word that the queen was ill, and her doctors were "concerned" about her health. Then, her closest family members were seen traveling to Scotland, where she was staying at the time, to be by her side.
Her death was announced at around 1:30 p.m. ET, which is 6:30 p.m. U.K. time; however, it appears the monarch passed away hours earlier, and the news was made public only once the entire family was aware. According to the queen's death certificate, which was obtained by BAZAAR.com, Queen Elizabeth died at 15:10 hours, or 3:10 p.m. U.K. time, on September 8 in Balmoral Castle.
In the document, the monarch's cause of death is listed as "old age," as she was 96 years old when she died surrounded by her family. Her marital status is listed as widowed, as her husband of more than 70 years, Prince Philip, died at age 99 just last year.
The death certificate is signed as received by the late queen's daughter, Princess Anne.
