The Queen died of 'old age', Her Majesty's newly issued death certificate revealed.
The 96-year-old sovereign died at Balmoral Castle on Thursday, September 8 at 3.10 pm before all of her children and grandchildren could get to her bedside and more than three hours before the public was told.
The death certificate, released by National Records of Scotland, cites the Queen as dying of 'old age', the same stated cause of death as Prince Philip's in April 2021. The informer of Her Majesty's demise was Princess Royal, Queen Elizabeth II's daughter Princess Anne.
The 3.10 pm time of death on the historic document, which gives the monarch's occupation as 'Her Majesty The Queen', shows that King Charles and his only sister were by their mother's side when she passed in Aberdeenshire three weeks ago.
It's also been established what was suspected on that sad day, that most of the Queen's children and grandchildren tried in vain to be with her during the late monarch's last hours.
Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie Countess of Wessex, were in the air when the Queen passed away. They had been trying to get to Balmoral, and took off from RAF Northolt in South Ruislip, west London, at 2.39 pm, landing an hour later.
Prince Harry was not on the aircraft with his brother and had to make his own travels to Scotland on a jet from Luton, taking off after his grandmother had passed. He landed in Aberdeen at 6.46 pm, 16 minutes after the Palace made its announcement, and then arrived at Balmoral at 7.52 pm, almost five hours after she'd died.
It's still unclear exactly when Harry was told, but a spokesman for the King highlighted recently that the public was only informed after every family member had been told.
Douglas James Allan Glass is noted as the certifying registered medical practitioner. Dr Glass is a GP from the Highlands village of Aboyne, about 20 miles from the Royal Family's Scottish home. He is also Apothecary to the Household at Balmoral.
Old age was the only cause of death listed, with no other donating factors.
It was the same cause of death as on her husband Prince Philip's death certificate.
But what doctor would write 'old age'? Surely 'natural causes' would be the proper wording. Although she must have missed Prince Philip dearly, so perhaps what should have been put on there would have been 'hastened by a broken heart'. But nevertheless, the dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them, but to be fair, the lack of her presence makes absolutely no difference to our lives in any practical way.
However, people by nature are disgustingly nosey, which is one of the most repulsive traits of human nature, but unfortunately, gutter rags are allowed to generate news reports, and while this goes on there will be no such thing as a private family matter, but then again, she was the longest serving Monarch, and this is historical information and of significant importance, although I'm sure that in time she will be forgotten as well, along with the rest of the Royal Family.
