- What did the Queen die from? How did Elizabeth II die? These questions are being asked CONSTANTLY on my video, 'How Every British Monarch Died', and so I thought, I'd share all the information the United Kingdom has with regards to the monarch's death.
Music credit: Chopin - Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor.
It’s been said in royal circles, that it was in fact bone cancer over a period of a year. Hence the pain when mobile and why she cancelled lots of days where she would be standing. Such a brave lady right until the end.
Yes, that is what i have also heard.
Apparently she was at times using wheelchair behind closed doors. They say she was wheeled into the Centre Room just before her final balcony appearance at the Jubilee last year.
I truly doubt she had bone cancer. She welcomed the PM 2 days before her death and didn't with a smile only walking with a stick. Bone cancer is extremely painful. There is no way someone who has bone cancer would be up around and smiling if she had cancer.
@@elliemathews6884you underestimate that woman
She lost her spark after Phillip died I think she was tired
I agree . I think her spirit was broken when her husband died and her body just finally caught up . I am glad they are together again but I will miss The Queen
I mean she was nearly one hundred aswell
Same agree
To be fair losing a partner after so many years together would do that to anyone.
Yep. When my grandma died, it broke my incredibly powerful grandpa. He was unbreakable to me. He was superman to me. Losing Granny was his kryptonite. He lived 8 yrs after, but it was crazy to watch. He died a little every day
The bruise on the back of her hand is an IV bruise, also common in the elderly when they're approaching end of life and have to be frequently monitored medically. That's why she was at Balmoral. She knew she was dying, and she wanted to die there. So her doctors monitored her there, and treated her accordingly, including giving her intravenous fluids. She probably did not suffer a fall.
I think broken heart syndrome is the culprit. In younger people, it's survivable, and they can and usually do recover fully. But in the very elderly, it is sometimes fatal. It's caused by the type of stress patterns associated with sorrow and anguish.
This a is very likely situation
Agreed, her ankles are swollen suggesting IV Fluids nothing but medical support for failing health. A fall would have caused a likely break at her age.
I agree, the position and size of the bruise is entirely consistent with cannulation. I witnessed similar bruising in both my parents after hospitalisation where an IV cannula was used. Bruising the back of the hand seems fairly unlikely following a fall; as the natural instinct is to catch oneself, injuries to the wrist and forearm are much more common along, of course, with injuries to the lower limbs and pelvis. It is also worth bearing mind that, whatever the nature of the late Queen's mobility issues, she was in remarkably robust physical condition for a lady of her age. She was a regular rider, having been seen out on her Windsor estates shortly before her move to Balmoral, an activity known both to require and promote good balance and core strength.
Even if a fall had occurred, that would not be the proximal cause of death. One could compare that to being involved in a road traffic accident; while it might have caused an injury that subsequently lead to death, the cause would not be certified as 'car crash' but rather 'respiratory failure due to lacerations from fractured ribs', for example.
'Mobility issues' is always a rather vague statement meaning, in most cases, that the individual is simply aging; as muscle tone and mass decrease, moving around simply becomes increasingly difficult. In layman's terms we would most likely simply observe that someone looks increasingly frail. Short of a fairly catastrophic fall, mobility issues do not cause or lead to death.
Given the sudden and rapid decline in health, pulmonary or cardiac issues will always tend to come high on the list of candidates. As there was time for he family to reach her bedside before the end, I'd tend towards respiratory issues. Cardiac failure would tend towards a much more rapid conclusion and would have indicated an immediate move to a hospital environment. Here, however, we see a rapid but gradual decline, handled in the home (albeit a castle with full medical support) and with time for many of the family to gather. Could it be something as simple as pneumonia (often referred to by my late father as 'the old person's friend)? It's certainly the season for such deaths to start their annual climb.
At the end of the day, this is all speculation and fairly meaningless; Her Majesty lead a long life dedicated to service and appears to have retained her mental faculties to the end. I'm sure she would have been content to have gone out still 'in harness', so to speak, having completed her final constitutionally important act in appointing Liz Truss as Prime Minister.
May God take Elizabeth to His bosom and her much deserved rest. God Save the King!
@@MrPaulMorris You are well informed and medically knowledgeable. I sure wouldn’t like to be the person that had to try and find a good vein on a woman of her age and certainly not on the Queen of England! You’re going to feel a slight prick your highness, Poke….miss…try again…Poke…vein roles, try again…Poke… hit a valve…vein blows…try again. Use a smaller angiocath… poke…no luck…Queen orders you shot!!! No thanks, I always call the best IV nurse for geriatrics and pediatrics, I know my limits! Lol.
I agree. Bruises from a fall would have likely been hidden by clothing.
After my husband died, according to my Mother, I was like a zombie for a year. I believe that you can die of a broken heart. Thank you for this video. You nailed it.
Broken heart syndrome is real, it's called Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
broken heart syndrome is a very real thing it’s called takotsubo cardiomyopathy
She could've passed in her sleep. The elderly often take naps in an afternoon, especially if they are unwell. I think the loss of her husband really took a toll - it's not uncommon for an elderly person to die soon after losing their spouse of a very long time. She was not only Queen to the UK and Commonwealth, but a "people's Queen" to the world, and she is missed.
I agree when Phillip died I said to my daughter shecwont last long now.
@Carleen o oki ok
@Carleen God I hope I go that way
Same thing happened with Barbara and George Bush Sr.
@@markvolpe2305 I think THAT was the most recent couple....
Very saddened by The Queen's death. She led with elegance and grace.
My condolences to her family and those who are from the UK and the commonwealth.
Impressive how even a few days before her death, she inaugurated the new PM.
I believe she is the last of a leader with caring, dedication to the good of her country. A tireless worker and the epitome of a true representative of her country.
Yes the lady has done what we all must. That is take our turn. I'm thinking she was tired of it all. The stress she has been put under in her last years is sad.
@@georgemiller6765 I think William embodies a lot of her qualities, along with his mother’s. He’ll make a fine king.
Such dedication over a lifetime is truly admirable. A monarch to be studied in how she managed to run an empire with benevolence and wisdom.
She abolished the empire and formed the commonwealth, countries are free to choose if they are in the commonwealth or not ❤
The Queen resembled my mom who died in 10/2021 at 92. The months leading up my mom did not eat as much , napped daily, had discolored skin (worsening circulation), had that leaned over look. My mom was actively dying and then deteriorated further.
Seems like that is what happens at the end of life.
She died peacefully as well which I'm grateful for.
I am 74 and I have on my hands, arms and legs bruises from hitting a doorway, or something in the room when walking. Even a slight knock will cause extensive bruising. God bless her family in this time of sadness and mourning.
I’m 29 and the same shit happens to me. Lol
Why does that happen?
@@roguekash5075 Blood thinners, such as baby aspirin or prescription blood thinners. Also age and thinner skin.
45 and same. My skin is very thin
I’m 70 and noticed my skin has thinned, so I have to be careful not to accidentally get hurt by a scratch or bump or cut!
Having lost my beloved mother 4 years ago this week, I can say that the bruising on the back of Her Majesty's hand looks much more like a long-term, repeated or unsuccessful IV than an injury. If she had an IV removed for the occasion, it means she was being treated for something fairly significant, perhaps with fluids or painkillers or even antibiotics/antivirals. That the IV was in her hand meant that the veins of her arms had failed as a site, indicating either dehydration or a longer term course of treatment. She also appears to have bruises on her legs.
Heartfelt condolences to her family, and may she rest in peace.
Dear Jennifer, I, too, lost my Dearest Mother this week 3 years ago in my case.
My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and I hope you have had lots of help and support.
Sending you lots of hugs.
@@geoffgane7550 They could live to be 150, but nothing prepares us for the loss of our mothers. My heart goes out to you and to all who are coping with one of life's saddest rites of passage. Massive hugs and blessings to you and yours.
I was just about to comment on that. Even when you are relatively healthy, having difficult veins can cause bruising like this. I had a welt of black and blue like that on my hand last Christmas after a failed line for a routine blood draw failed in my arms.
I just KNEW when Phil died that Lili wasn't far behind. It happened to my grandparents. My grandpa died, and 8 months later, my grandma died. When you're of an advanced age it's harder to take the slings and arrows of lifespan when younger. And losing a lifetime soulmate, it would just knock all the wind out of her sails.
I will miss her Xmas message every year if I live for many more years. Her voice was so comforting.
She did have a broken heart when her beloved husband passes. This too might of been a factor. May she RIP.
O no another broken heart
May she rot in hell.
I think a broken heart could have been the cause
There is a medical theory that when a person who is elderly suffers the loss of a spouse it releases an enzyme from the grief response in the body. The enzyme damages the heart and may lead to death. So death from a broken heart seems possible. It is only a theory but it does make sense of old married couples dying soon after the death of the first spouse.
@@keith6234yess this is a known condition called takotsubo cardiomyopathy
Grieving can cause people’s health to deteriorate. After my grandmother’s death my grandfather quite literally willed himself to die. His doctor said that there was nothing he
could do because he wanted to die. When I visited him and I asked him how he was he
said ‘I’ll soon be with your Nan now and he died a few days later. Very sad. Perhaps the
Queen had lost her will to carry on because of illness and losing her husband and eventually
just gave up. We may never know.
Thats right. I know some old folks that die after one spouse died, esp,if they are closed to each other. The loneliness and the will to thrive is gone. The Queen had a good life - a well lived life. Its sad that she passed on but more so she has accomplished her mission in life and did very well.
I think the Queen held out after Phillip's death to the Jubilee; it was a way to honor both for their service to the country. She declined after that - no need to hang on any longer, and a desire to be with Phillip again.
some media source said the same thing......that once prince phillip passed away, Queen Elizabeth II started to slowly decline in activities and health. You folks know of some recent deaths in the world.....one such death was "contributed by a broken heart" following a death of their loved one.
I just wrote similarly, Bless
It’s not just old people who have had a long relationship. I have seen posts from recent widows, widowers who just want to die to be with their partner.
I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again:
She was a true queen as one could only wish for.
R.I.P. Elizabeth II
well said. well said indeed.
Jimmy well said .God save the King .
Let's not act like it's medieval times. she didn't actually rule in the same way obviously
@@fearless3073 Of course she had very limited powers but Queen Elizabeth was always well informed and was a formidable diplomat .
I am American and I felt so sad the day I heard that she died the Queen was like part of my family
I believe she went to bed, had a stroke in her sleep, went into a coma and died within a few hours. I've known three people who died in this exact manner. It's a very peaceful way to go. The Palace never said how she passed away and the time of day does not matter if she was in a coma. They only said she died peacefully and Charles and Anne were with her. If her staff found her that next morning in a coma, they would have notified Charles and Anne immediately and at that point, there is only waiting.
How do you know it is a peaceful death how do you know there isn't sever pain if one has a stroke with blood and fluid building up in the brain we can only assume they died peacefuly
My maternal grandmother was born 8 days after Elizabeth II. When she passed away 5 years ago, I hoped that the Queen would be with us for a while longer. The Queen will definitely be beloved forever
Rip to your grandmother 😭
My Maternal Grandmother was born 10 days after the Queen and passed away 5 years ago aswell, in october omg
not by me lol
We love Queen Elizabeth here in
Massachusetts USA
LONG LIVE THE KING
My grandmother passed 4 years ago and was just a couple years younger than her. Sucks to lose them but memories will survive with us.
She lost her husband, who was her confidant and best friend. It wasn't a good time for her, then she had Covid. I think those two things were a lot for her at her age. She won the hearts of the world by being discrete and hard working. We may not see the likes of her again for a long time to come.
Both in her personality and in reign-length. She was a remarkable and a unique person. May she watch over us in Heaven alongside other great and larger-than-life people like Gorbachev
Not in this fucked up world at least
And cousin

Thank you for this update 🙏🙏🙏🙏
As a health professional; I have been taking care of elderly people for over two decades. Bruises in the arms are very much common. I`ve noticed that those people on blood thinners such as warfarin or aspirin may develop these bruises and not necessarily due to a fall. Whatever is the reason; may The Queen rest in peace..
Very true - as a thin-skinned senior on 81 mg baby aspirin had massive, slow-healing bruising. Much better once I stopped it, but still bruise and bump easily.
i’m an EMT student and i was just thinking about this. i also wouldn’t be shocked if it’s from a blown vein especially now that we know she was suffering with bone cancer so she almost certainly would’ve been getting some type of iv treatment even if it was just fluids. the elderly’s veins are just so so delicate even the most skilled phlebotomist can accidentally tear one.
It doesn’t matter what the Queen died from , what matters is that she passed away peacefully. God save the Queen . God Save The King.
You are right, it doesn't matter, but it would be comforting to know
exactly what took her, if possible. Knowing that would also soften
some of the terrible shock we all feel right now.
But have you noticed that it is always publicised that they passed peacefully, I do hope so however I do think that is published to put us the public at ease. RIP
@@michellecrowley3749 I think they say that to keep people from
panicking.
God didn't save any king or queen. no matter how you say it or how many times. they will all die
I'm sorry it does matter. She could have been murdered.
The Queen never looked like she was in her 90s and always looked strong for her age but once Prince Philip passed away, it started to look like her age was finally catching up with her. It's not difficult to notice that she wasn't the same since his death and perhaps if he was still alive today, she would be too. Her death may be a number of reasons but I think she stopped being able to cope any longer with the recent loss of her husband as well as her sister, parents and her friends too and that can take a heavy toll on anybody. She will never be another Queen like her again that's for sure 👑
You will often see that in the elderly when one passes the other passes soon after. Bless
@@michellecrowley3749 I agree with you 100%
Very true 👍...
Actually, she was very,very ill. Not to get too indepth, but just think back about her "mobility issues, fatigue and emaciated look, multiple bruises.
Thus, naming Camilla 'Queen Consort' and getting her affairs in order
That should be a clue.
So true. From younger pics, my late aunt favored HM.... Concerning PP, that took it toll on HM...
My Grandma lost most of the people she dearly loved. The one that hit her the most was the death of her dear friend. I went to visit her that day and found she literally refused to wake up. I have never seen that look in her eyes. One that said it's time to close my eyes now and go...I'm tired. I brought her home with me from hers and mum's place. The days I spent with her were terrifying. I knew she would soon leave me but I wanted to continue staying with her. I didn't want her to go. She slowly refused to visit the bathroom and started using diapers. She slowly refused to eat. Her breathing changed. She stopped talking and would just stare in oblivion. When her 1 year old great granddaughter walked in to sit by her side she seemed to smile only with her eyes. When I sang to her her eyes shined. Slowly her legs from bottom up started growing cold. Her hands too I constantly had to rub them. She too almost had hands that looked like the Queen. Sadly days later she died! The last words she said to me were " Peggy! Peggy!, please leave me alone!" I refused! I stayed with her. She always wanted to die at home but I couldn't allow her cause she desperately needed oxygen. Rest in Peace Grandma! I will always love you. She wanted to rest. She is now resting. She was tired. She died at 89.
Same my mother also died
My mom is 92. I think she's ready.
There is a lesson here dear one . When our loved ones want to die ,we must honour their wishes and let them be . Before our loved ones death ,they have already left this world for they are preparing in their own way ,to leave ,finally The dying struggle to leave in the presence of their loved ones, for their carers carry their own concerns and emotions inside and the dying feel it strongly . They feel the bonds of your wishes and wanting to have them live a little while longer .This is such a burden for them and they struggle to free themselves .To love ,really is ,to let go and allow freedom .
She was an amazing Queen who dedicated her life in ruling the UK for more than 70 years.
Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth II
"Better days will return."
I would imagine she just got tired and her body gave up. She was 96.
It is a very sad situation we are in after our belowed Queen Elisabeth passed 2 days ago. I personally did got a shock after seeing the news of Her passing. I will remember Her for the rest of my life. My deepest condolences to the Royal family, the UK and everybody who knew our belowed Queen. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth II.
R.I.P Queen Elizabeth II

She missed her beloved husband deeply, she never showed it openly. She loved him, and loosing him, she must have been very lonely. She was a brave QUEEN and wanted to put her duties first. I lost both my parents within 20days .they loved each other so much..1st my dad and than my mom, she was very lonely. She died after 20days..older couples must be kept happy at all time...they need people around them. God bless the QUEEN. May her soul RIP.
She probably died of old age, (She was 96), and a broken heart, Philip had only been dead about 12 month.
The discoloration of the hand can also be explained by the use of an IV for medication.
With being in and out of hospital due to cancer, I would usually be left with bruising especially on my hand where a cannula would be put in (a needle put in for an IV or to give fluids, usually saline) but in the elderly, that bruising would sometimes look horrific. This looks very much like that and not a fall.
Agree with this.
It's not common practice to canulate the dominant hand thought, and as Her Majesty was right handed, a canula would have gone in the left hand - and we see her right hand.
@@ChrisRamsbottomThat’s nonsense. I’m from a family of Doctors but also I have first hand experience what with being in and out of hospital for the past 17 years due to cancer complications. I hate to sound rude but your information is wrong. Cannula’s can actually be put anywhere on the body, including your feet, which I once had the unfortunate experience of. They will be put anywhere on the body where they’re able to get blood and if you’re someone like myself where my veins stopped paying out due to over cannulating, then you’ll be fitted first with a picc line on your arm and if that fails (usually due to infection) then you’ll be fitted with a more permanent Hickman line (which you’ll receive a small operation for) and will come out your chest with 3-4 lines coming out that can be used to give/take blood or give fluids or even in my case, give chemotherapy. However, a nurse will usually start at the the back of the hand “any hand, there’s no difference, it’s simply based on which has the best veins for fitting the cannula” and if the hands are no use then they’ll go for the arms.🙂
If a person falls, it’s natural to use your palms not the back of your hands.
@@ChrisRamsbottom you're right. but in certain cases. may be necessary. if the nurse cannot find a usable vein. in the non-dominant hand.
The Queen was a gift to this world. It’s not surprising that she didn’t live as long as the Queen Mother. She lost her beloved husband whom she had known since she was about 13, Andrew, her favorite child was publicly disgraced forcing her to remove his titles, Harry and his wife have been nothing but trouble. On top of all this she had the duties and responsibilities of a Queen. I think she may have been hanging on for her well deserved Jubilee as her health issues increased after that. I hope she and Prince Phillip are resting in peace together. God save the Queen. God Save the King.
nice observations, thank you for this concise information
I worked in the NHS and later as a live in carer looking after the elderly. Lots of elderly people have mobility problems and end up having a fall which inevitably can lead to death. It’s such a major shock that some just don’t recover from. Extremely sad. 😢
Hello how’re you doing?
I would speculate that it was a combination of her age, and a broken heart. She did love Philip and missed him dearly after his passing. Plus time will eventually wear down even the strongest amongst us.
96 years is a respectable run for a Lady who had so many challenges to face and burdens to shoulder during her reign. May Her Royal Highness be resting well in the great Beyound, she's earned it. 👑🌹
When it was announced on TV that she had passed away (at the very time we 'though’ it had happened) I burst into tears and was inconsolable for some time. Though he comforted me, I’m not sure my partner fully understood why I was so upset. She had been there all our lives; dependable, reliable and consistent, and I think she was more than just a Queen to us; we loved her - I mean REALLY loved her, even though perhaps many probably did not realize it. She was a good woman - may God Bless her.
God save the Queen, God save the Royal Family.
She and her family had done so much to enrich our history.
Thank you.
😮
It feels so unreal after those official photos just a couple days ago. R.I.P.
its real
@@vloggingshow2580 Nice try
I recently had a bruise identical to hers. The nurse blew a vein while inserting a needle in the back of my hand and it didn’t take long at all for there to be a huge dark circle on my hand. She was somewhat new and was struggling hitting a vein. Another nurse had to come and insert the needle correctly. I am not her age (over 45 years younger) but I know as you age it can get more and more difficult to hit veins well. I saw her hand and assumed they had administered something in an IV for her recently. Just a thought.
Thats what I thought
100 percent it was an IV
Ouch!
@@michaeltaylor8835 I wouldn't go as far as 100 percent, my husband is 67 and has extremely thin skin on his hands, one little bump and he gets a large bruise. Nothing to do with iv needles etc.
I believe she was on intravenous drips which caused the bruising. This is hardly as a result of a fall.
Queen was blessed entire her long life didn’t have dementia despite she had a knee surgery in 2003 and ulcerative colitis in 2013 .
Her smile is extremely lovely .
I wish I had known her more .
Another fantastic and classy video, loved your disclaimer. Thankyou for keeping your morality while making this video
I had hoped the Queen would reach 100, but it seems she had relative quality of life until the end. Now she is with the Lord, at peace and free from infirmity.
Reaching 100 years old is no easy task. Only 1 in 6000 people make it. This figure has changed in centuries
She was old. Period. We don’t need a speculative analysis about her passing. She lived a long meaningful life and served her people well. That’s what we should remember about her.
Agreed.
She's hardly going to have a period. Bit old for all that
@@melaniekendall4903 Facetious
Any person if in the pubblic eye usually has motive of dead made pubblic - - even if in this case old age seems to be the case--P. S : didn't the Queen wear gloves when meeting people ?

Thanks for sharing
It reminds me of my grandmother. She lived till 97, and was as tough as nails. In her mid 90s she began having multiple health problems. She had very serious bruises on her hands and arms. This was simply a condition that is common in very elderly people as the blood vessels weaken and the skin also weakens. There’s absolutely nothing to suggest she died from a fall. She was exceptionally(as shown in the recent pictures of her) frail. Her body simply wore out. Is it possible she died as the result of a fall? Certainly. Is it probable? No. Is it more likely that she simply felt Ill and/or tired the night before, leading her to cancel her video meeting with the privy council? Yes. Could she have gone to sleep that night and suffered a stroke or heart attack or some other major issue? Yes. Could she have then peacefully drifted away during the course of the day? Very likely. Whatever the exact cause, it’s the passing of an era. One of the last representatives of the greatest generation remaining. Bless her memory, and good luck to her son.
I am 70 years old with relapsing MS. I have had several infusion treatments with hours with needles in my hands. I can say even when u are younger your body, you have the same problems. I know in my case will turn blue, black as in Her Majesty’s case. I know if you are older it tends to be more pronounced in the color
Probably Dx'ed 10.2021 when hospitalized & the dx ...MM...multiple myeloma....bone cancer...then slowly dowhill....& mostly likely a coma before actual death occurred.
My great aunt died at 102. From 75 years of age, she ate fruit only
Her sister, my grandmother, died at 94
Neither drank alcohol, neither smoked
Well said and I agree with you . If she did fall I was thinking why didn't she have any brushing on her face, I'm not so sure If I agree with this article. Not to sound selfish but I wish she could have stayed with us all a little longer such an incredible woman, she will be greatly missed.
@@not.likely she must have had terrible gas
I'm going to miss her like my own mother , loved her to bits
For gods sake grow up
@@grahamjordan1040 when and if your parents pass away will you be the same?
Many of us could see from those images dating Tuesday, 06 September 2022 that Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth had become increasingly frail. Given we could see this then there can be no reason to suppose Elizabeth herself was not able to register this somewhat frail and diminished physical Royal personage she had finally become. My own initial evaluation that evening was imbued with distant yet concerned sadness but also, and practically, with the question just precisely how much longer the Queen herself then thought she would be able to continue and carry on in her ways? If I could think this then, indubitably, Her Majesty was not then incapable of such objective self evaluation. We have been informed Elizabeth was adamant she would never abdicate her sovereign office and yet she was clearly aware that her health was becoming an ever increasing burden both to those immediately around her but also as an impediment in matters of state. Clearly, gone were the days when she was able to drop Balmoral for a quick overnight stop in London to take the kissing of hands upon the appointment of her new Prime Minister. Whilst there is no evidence to suggest Elizabeth had reached such levels of indignity, the concern clearly abides when one contemplates shortly requiring intimate assistance over the exercise of one's normal bodily functions. We otherwise know the Queen's dedication to her duties and to her office was absolute. I take comfort from the Queen's great faith as espoused over countless Christmas messages and with these over her many, many years in terms of being able to draw great comfort and great strength and guidance through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Speaking as someone who has no calling to regularly attend a church in this way we may feel confident that the Queen's faith has proven sufficient over her long and wonderful reign to see and to guide her through. In short, Queen Elizabeth was that most remarkable of servants before God and before her Country and Commonwealth. For all her many years and for all her joys, her duties and her affections and for so many of us she will forever retain that most special of places in our hearts, our minds and in our affections. R.I.P.
At her age, congestive heart failure is usually the cause. Many people have died even long before the ripe old age of 96. Given an average of 60 bpm, her heart has performed more than 3 billion beats since she was born. It's surprising her cause of death is even discussed. She's done so much during her 70 year reign. Let her rest in peace.
I would imagine she developed pneumonia which would account for her rapid decline within 48 hours, if she had signed a DNR then death would have come quickly with no medical intervention. She was ready to go a while back after the loss of husband and I expect she spent the last few months sorting out her affairs. It does not really matter what she died of, she may or may not have had cancer but she died as everyone dies of the same thing, her heart ceased to beat. It was her time to go and if she didn't fight it then the process would have been relatively painless, and that is all we can hope for either for her or ourselves.
My immediate reaction was it may have been a stroke like Betty White had . But the more I thought about it the more I think her rapid decline came as the result of losing her beloved husband . They are together again and I am sure she is happy

Best reply on here. If disease doesn't kill us, old age will
NOT TRUE
The Queen had Covid earlier this year.
Apart from long Covid, patients can experience damage or scaring to the major organs; brain, heart, lungs and arterial and venous systems.
Her purple hands, photographed the day before her death revealed oxygen starvation to her extremities.
That would gave made mobility difficult and painful.
I am 75, if I bang my hand against a solid object a bruise like the one the Queen had will appear.
Nothing to do with oxygen starvation just plain old age and a skin less capable of handling a blow.
My mother was 93 and we kept her safe from Covid but she was booked into hospital and she caught covid and we were not told when she was released that she had covid.
I disagree, I am 75 and if I bang my hand hard against an obstacle ( accidentally ) I bruise just like the Queen. There was an article on CZcams about an elderley man who had been manhandled by a police constable. Pictures show the very same bruising as the Queen had. It is older peoples skin, it marks very easily and she was an older person. I am aware not all will be affected the same way but I know many who are.
J Stone I agree with your assessment. Her Majesty was very frail but still tried to power through. Loved seeing her on that horse ride post covid.
What a load of nonsense,
As mentioned in this video , the Queens hand has bruising that may or maynot be from a fall , I also noticed that her right leg is very swollen , this may be from poor or blocked blood circulation and even caused a fall if that is a factor. God rest the Queen in her passing , God bless the King !
Its good to know she had a peaceful passing and that she is now re united with her beloved husband.God Bless our Queen.RIP.
My Father died in April 2022, he was also 96. He seemed fine till he had a bad fall one night. He seemed to deteriorate from them too. So possibly the Queen did have a fall. My condolences go out to the RF. God save the King 🤴 🙏
A fall is unlikely to produce bruises on the back of the hand. When my mother was in the last months of her life, her hands and wrists were always looking very dark, simply because the skin was so thin, rendering capillaries very close to the surface. The capilaries themselves become fragile if the patient is taking anti-inflammatory medications arthritis or other chronic pain, causing them to break easily from even minor impacts, such as bumping the hand against a table. Canes are as often used to mitigate pain while walking, as they are to assist with balance. This isn't to say that the Queen did not have a fall hasten her death; she very well could have. It's just that there are other conditions that could bring about a sudden decline and death in an elderly person, such as a stroke or anyeurism.
When it was announced that she was "under medical supervision" due to 'concerns" about her health, and that she was "comfortable" at her home at Balmoral, I took that immediately to be Palace code for hospice care, and that her death was near.
She had bone cancer
Me too.
My most fervent condolences to all the Royal Family, the British Nobility, and the citizens of the United King- dom and the British Commonwealth at the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. I must note that it sur- prises me how deeply sad I personally had felt, and still feel, at Her Majesty's passing. She was among the great fig- ures of our age. This solemn event certainly marks the turn of the page in the history of the world. Or, perhaps more fittingly, the closing of a book, aptly marking the end of an era.
People do not live forever, not even royalty. I only hope that she did not suffer any pain. She has been on the throne since before I was born and was therefore present during my whole life. It is strange to think that she is no longer with us. I myself admired and respected her. She will be missed.
As we age our brain actually shrinks. If an elderly individual falls the shrinkage allows the brain to potentially bleed. This occurs often in falls. The blood then increases the pressure within the skull. This can lead to decreased consciousness, slurred speech, impairment of movement. This scenario fits quite well for the Queen's death. Reports were that a Zoom meeting the night before was canceled close to the anticipated start time. Her doctor recommended she rest. This is the wait and see time. At the Queen's age she probably wouldn't have wanted extraordinary efforts to save her life. As the hours wore on she would have declined in alertness and possibly fallen into a coma. If it was a bleed she would have eventually lost her ability to breathe and her heart would have stopped. When they announced that the family was coming I would speculate that the doctors had seen some deterioration in her. This is all a very likely cause of the Queen's passing
When the news came out that The Queen was under doctors' care, I felt that there might have been an episode similar to that suffered by The Duke of Edinburgh that ended his public duties. Her Majesty had certainly become more frail since the passing of her husband, and it seemed that there was a regency in place in all but name, that The Queen could no longer perform public duties outside of "court" (meeting the new Prime Minister, Privy Council meetings, etc.).
Sooner rather than later, the public will gain more information on the circumstances of Her Majesty's demise, and as it was a rapid collapse it would seem more likely to involve something like a fall or a major stroke rather than organ failure. The Duke of Edinburgh lived for some time after suffering what appeared to be a stroke that forced his "retirement", but whatever happened to The Queen was evidently much more serious.
. Y daughter works with the elderly she thinks stroke as well
My 80 year old mother in law, and 90 year old great grandad both died within mere days of a fall. My own mother started falling frequently in her late 80s, putting her in hospital a couple of times before being diagnosed with a heart condition. Which would cause her to black out for a few seconds - resulting in falls... A pace maker was fitted... Now she is getting on for 91, and back again in reasonable physical health for her age. In fact she has beat Great grandad's record as the longest ever lived member of our family.. Great grandad was a sturdy resilient old 1st world war soldier. He swore by a tot of rum each day for maintaining his strength and vitality. My family saved up to provide his essential daily ration. Though I can't help suspecting his medicinal elixir may have inevitably caused his fatal fall ???
The bruise on her hand is from IV therapy, common in elderly they get these bruises when they have an IV inserted or removed because they have fragile veins, and are also often in blood thinners which increases bleeding and bruising. Additionally if the Queen was using a cane that actually doesn’t indicate balance issues, as walkers are actually indicated in those with balance issues.
Finally, my best guess at cause of death as a healthcare worker, is a broken heart. Up until Phil died the Queen was still a going concern, and after his passing you could tell she was trying to put on a brave face but she was fading, it also does explain the lingering death and the chance to say goodbye, my own Gram was much the same when she passed last year, she wasn’t the same without Grandad, and she held on long enough to say goodbye to us but her heart was with him.
I believe that the Queen died of cancer, not a fall. She seemed to be diminishing in size and lost quite a bit of weight between 2020 and 2022. That would of course affect her mobility, which served as a nice cover for the Palace when they had to cancel engagements for HM. BTW, the Queen Mum lived to be 101 and King George VI died of a coronary thrombosis caused by lung cancer. Edward VII, George V, Edward VIII and Princess Margaret also died from smoking related causes.
Cancer definitely
According to Lady Colin Campbell she had bone cancer
I think so too.
She took the vac seat further.
All I know is that old age is extremely cruel.
The loss of her dear Prince did exacerbate things, imo. Her Majesty was very elderly and I 'm sure the pressure of duty made things worse. I am so glad her pain and worries are over now. Rest in Peace, Your Majesty.
I was born in America a month after Queen Elizabeth II became Queen of England. Throughout my lifetime, she remained, and still remains, my most admired person. When others were faithless, she was faithful. When others despaired, she went to work. When some discarded the very idea of “duty”, she lived each day in fulfillment of her’s. For me, she was a “rock” - a person who could be counted upon to bring dignity to turmoil. And she often made me laugh! “Recollections may vary” was a good one!!!
Before the whole world seemed to notice the bruising on her hand, I noticed it, I recognized it as something that happens to me when I need some fluids or medicines delivered into the veins. The bruising from it on my hand lasts a while, taking several days to disappear. I felt very deeply that she was tired, but I was also flooded with feelings of admiration. As the world has seen, whenever it took the time to look, she was not a person who was going to be kept back from her obligations easily.
I believe that as her death record states, she died from old age, and I’m happy for her that she was at Balmoral, which seems to have been a favorite location with many happy memories for her. A person of faith, as I am, I am glad that she is at home with Our Lord, and with her husband and parents and others dear to her, who had gone ahead of her.
I’ve been married for 43 years, and I believe that Queen Elizabeth had been married for some 70+ years when Prince Phillip died. I can not even imagine what it felt like for her to carry on with her duties after his death, but carry on, she did.
Her decades of service not only to England and the Commonwealth, but to the world, finally came to an end, when age took its toll. I’m grateful that a woman of such grace, intellect, and insight into world affairs died peacefully, by all accounts.
I genuinely miss her, and I know that King Charles misses her very much, too.I’m certain that she is proud of him.
Please keep us posted if you get any news on this.
Thank you...
I think it’s significant that Her late Majesty lost a significant amount of weight in a little over a year. She appeared more and more shrunken in stature, and this is particularly obvious in her last set of photos. She also looked very pale too. Rumour has it that she was suffering from an unnamed bone disease, but this is yet to be confirmed. The bruises on her hands could well be the result of cannula insertion to administer drugs/ pain relief, which would fit. I think it’s unlikely she simply “ had a fall” as some are speculating because she’d have been taken to hospital if it was a serious one. Whatever it was, I hope HM had a relatively peaceful and pain-free end, as we all would wish for!
thank you...that was my guess also...IV administration
By her posture and the rapid change in her stance over the last year or so, she looks like she had advanced osteoporosis with vertebral fractures. That would fit with the reports about "mobility issues" as well, because this can be quite painful. I interpreted the hand bruises as meaning that she was on blood thinners...most common reason for that would be a-fib. My best guess is that she had an episode of a-fib or other arrhythmia causing her to feel bad enough to cancel her meeting on Wednesday. Then overnight had an event such as an intracranial hemorrhage (related to the blood thinners) or a stroke (related to the arrhythmia) that left her in a state where she couldn't be awakened in the morning. When they realized how bad it was (who knows, maybe they even have a CT scanner on site), they decided not to take her to the hospital but rather to just let her go.
@@MyFiddlePlayer I tend to think along the same lines.
Had The Queen been found like her father, the news of her passing would have simply gone out and the Royal Family would gather at Balmoral over the course of the day and not beeline as fast as they could. If she was found unresponsive that morning, the public report that she was under physicians' care would be strictly accurate, even if there was really no hope, while the members of the Royal Family would be told in private to get to Balmoral ASAP.
Maybe osteoporosis.
Pam.....when my older brother and brother in law passed, they BOTH had contracted stage 4 cancer. You would be SHOCKED to see how cancer physically "destroys" your body....making your body pail, your skin starts to shribble like a 90 yr old man (my brother and BIL was around 60ish), they knew when it was their time.
This is weird to me as a Canadian. As a First Nations person I am apprehensive, at the very least she was spectacular at applauding progress or keeping her opinions to herself. I don't have that feeling from this next era.
I dont know that much deep about the royal family but i think prince william can be a hope
Why? I’m from Mexico I’d love to have someone with such dedication for his/her people and a system that works, our republic as the large majority is a total failure
@@jaciel610 I'm from France and share your POV 100%
I'm Canadian and I'm hoping that King Charles III will be a great king. He had his mother as an example for his entire life. She ruled with dignity, grace and compassion. He really doesn't seem all that different to me. All the things that happened with Diana were many years ago and I'm sure he learned alot from that experience. We must remember that nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. At 73 I think that he is older and wiser and will do just fine if we just give him half a chance. ✌🇨🇦
I had heard in an earlier report that she also had cancer.
Your "disclaimer" was with the UTMOST RESPECT!
Does it really matter what Her Majesty Passed away from? she was a grand age as we know 96 years old and worked right up till her passing - Whatever she passed away from she is now at peace and with her beloved Philip - Bless You, ma'am
She likely died of a broken heart - After her husbands death, she went down hill over the last few months.
It's not unheard of ethier. Couples who have been together for so long they become 'linked'
Rest well your majesty. GOD SAVE THE KING
My late Grandmother had the same mark on her hand. She didn't fall. She bumped her hand against a wall and the bruise appeared the next day. People who elderly tend to have thin skin. We had to gently lotion her hands and arms to keep the skin moist.
Her Majesty was the same age as my grandmother when she transitioned to be with best friend. May they be in peace together.
Such a beautiful amazing lady, an inspiration, I noticed the bruise on the queens hand immediately shaking liz trusses hand but as the doctor had visited previously I imagined the bruising to be blood test related, as it looks a few days old, one cannot assume. Such a terrible loss, so many so sad yet we feel alone due to loosing the queen, god bless you
The Queen’s hand shows signs of cyanosis (low levels of oxygen in the blood.) I’ve seen this before. Under-oxygenated blood is bluer than oxygen-rich blood and causes the skin on hands and feet to appear bluish-purple. There are several possible causes, some of which are exacerbated or even initiated by advanced age, but all of them should trigger an alarm for medical attention as it indicates an issue with the re-oxygenation of the bloodstream and it would seem strange if that was not the case here; however, in my view it is the most likely cause of the discolouration. It would not surprise me if the Queen as well as her medical attendants were well aware of her condition, but that in her typically pragmatic manner she insisted on carrying out this important official duty, sensing her physical situation and understanding very well that it probably would be her last.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Having been with my mum and her sister when they both passed in hospice care, QEII exhibited unmistakable signs of that in her hand. I would suggest too, to be at that juncture I believe she was already in congestive heart failure. Leave it to her with her incredible sense of duty to soldier thu to welcome the new PM before she could “let go.” Rest and fare thee well dear Mother to us all who have grown up in your abiding uncompromising sense of duty.
Yes, the video fails to point out that the fingers on both hands are a grey, ashen color indicating poor inflow of blood. Best view of this is 4:17 in the video.
@@MyFiddlePlayer YES!!!! Her fingers were the first thing I noticed. I can't believe no one else has even mentioned this. They keep going on about the bruise on her hand... except I feel the telltale sign is definitely her fingers. Peripheral Cyanosis, which has quite a few causes.
Makes sense
A very real death version of H.M.. You have had courage to tell something, based on medical notions;
at all completely different from what most of people says, giving to this sad fact a inappropriate romantic impression.
The queen was merry good queen she will be missed and loved
Merry? Do mean pissed
her alone at prince phillips funeral hits hard RIP ma'am
The dear lady was never the same, after her husband died, plus covid, God bless you maam......❤️❤️❤️❤️🏴
A rock in the surf left us, she was a steadfastness for many decades and reliable, may god protect her, we thank her majesty for her goodwill towards germany. thank you for the visit and the nice memories. We will never forget her. she was also our queen of hearts. rest in peace.
Since we are all speculating here as we don't have much information about her health in the time leading up to her death except for the bruise in her hand and her mobility issues, I would like to contribute with a few thoughts of my own.
1. The bruise: could be from an IV line, perhaps she needed some medication or fluids or both. If that's the case, bad news or at least ominous sign. Bad circulation? We need more info. A fall? Possibly. Strange place for a bruise after a fall but it could be that she hit something that left that bruise. At that age consequences from a fall are usually much more serious like broken hips, ribs or arms (except in the case of my 80+ year old mother who rolled all the way down a long wooden stair, ended up under a chair and survived with just a few bruises here and there. Lived more than ten years after that becoming almost centenarian).
2. The queen had also Covid and in my opinion, she never really recovered after that. Yes it was a mild case and yes she received the very best of cares but we don't know for sure if there weren't other lingering health issues related to Covid after she recuperated. So that's another possibility.
3. The mobility issues. There are of course 90+ year old people walking around without aid but they are very few and far between the vast majority are lucky if they still can walk with a cane or a walker. The fact that she was able to walk with only a cane at her age is astounding. Even though I have the suspicion that she mostly used a wheelchair or a walker when she was away from public scrutiny.
4. Just something else that appeared suddenly that in itself wouldn't have been an issue but for her was what together with all the other issues destabilized her, and pushed her over the edge. We just have to wait and see. People that age are extremely fragile and can destabilize very fast. In that photo she appeared very fragile and weakened although well disguised with make up and a casual outfit. But she could still stand so I'm not sure if she had problems with her balance or if it was something else
I was just thinking all of this. Heck, I'm 47 and get nasty bruises for weeks from blood draws or IV's. Since she recently had Covid, I'm fairly certain she may have had blood tests and/or an IV for fluids.
As far as mobility, I don't think she fell to create that bruise. My mother is frail and unsteady and has fallen many times (she is very stubborn). Separate falls she has broken a hip and both of her wrists. She is 77.
I think her rapid decline came as a result of the loss of her husband. I can’t imagine it would be easy to go on after losing the man she was married to for over 70 years . As for why she died perhaps it was a stroke like Betty White or she had a chronic illness it was decided on that the public didn’t need to know about . It makes me sad . I really thought she would make it to at least 100
@@missyrose2154 I completely agree with you about her decline after she lost her husband and I knew then that she probably wouldn't make it to her 100th birthday. Still, amazing how she managed to continue her work in spite of all the difficulties she had to navigate the past two years, thinking her of the Harry and Meghan stepping down and moving to America as well as Andrew's scandal too. Just one of those must have been really tough to handle, let alone both. She was a queen, extremely professional but as human as any of us. We can afford to freak out or go bananas once in a while, she couldn't at least in public. Extraordinary life and woman. Great loss.
@@lavinamontoya8164 If was good she had a sense of humor, too! The James Bond and Paddington Bear videos were wonderful! She will be missed, she was amazing even on Tuesday to welcome the new PM!!!!
I can’t believe it’s been over a year.
She died from old age.Three scores and ten he said to David.She lived a long and qualiful life.She had been blessed to see great grand kids.A life well lived.
We will likely never know the true reason The Queen died . Certainly they are not going to autopsy her . We will likely only ever know that she died peacefully in her sleep . Seems whatever killed her majesty may stem from whatever she was hospitalized for last October . Perhaps she had a chronic illness that it was decided the public didn’t need to know about . I am sure there was a reason as she was smiling just two days before she died . Perhaps it was a stroke or heart failure . Does it really matter ? I don’t think so . Imo I think Elizabeth’s spirit died when Phillip died and her body finally caught up. Her health took a rapid decline in the last year . I can’t imagine even a queen would find it easy to go on after losing her love and best friend after 73 years . I’m glad they are together again though I will deeply miss Elizabeth . I will miss the calm, dignified and graceful lady that I and so many others came to rely on as an ever reassuring presence . May she rest forever in peace
I think the long term illness would be Covid, which she had in the spring. I have long Covid and as a 63 year old, it causes me a lot of problems - I can't imagine someone my mother's age coping well with it.
The Queen lived a long life and fulfilled her duty. RIP
I don't trust the message that she died peacefully in her sleep. I also don't think anyone but the intimate family will ever find out otherwise.
@@karenryder6317 So how do you think the queen died? In pain? Did they put her down? Explain tp me please.
@@grlscove8858 people are making things up. She was 96, people die. My grandfather died 2 months ago at 93 and he was fine until one day he wasn't and he just died.
It could’ve been a combination of health problems, from recovering from Covid making her more susceptible to illness due to her age to mobility issues causing a fall.
Her marked weight loss, frailness, difficulty walking and the discoloration on her hands indicate she’d been receiving intravenous treatment, all of which point to an illness of some kind.
I also think the Queen losing Prince Philip understandably had a huge impact on her health as well.
Try old age, period!
@@allencolvin4320 a person never dies of old age, but instead of complications due to old age. Which could be attributed as such... but apparently not.
@@allencolvin4320 Bone Cancer...
or not having enough adrenachrome
Yes all agreed..good comment.
IV's given for hydration can also leave bruises on the hands of elderly patients. In the elderly, it may be necessary to make several attempts to find a vein that does not immediately collapse. This can cause severe bruising on the hands. A line is then usually inserted through the back of the forearm, the bend of the elbow, the collarbones or if all others fail, into a deeper vein in the arms or legs- however these would require a cutdown. I think it's likely HMTQ had been receiving fluids thru an IV for hydration and possibly medication for pain.
Exactly what I said when the news first came on that the doctor has told her to rest on the morning before her death was announced, that she might had fall due to mobility and the stress from losing her husband. May her soul rest in peace.
She probably died from being 96 years old. It is not unusual for those over 90 to simply die due to natural death of the body.
I wouldn’t be surprised if her having Covid lead to a quicker decline in health. It would also make sense of the bruise on her hand, as someone else pointed out too, looks like a bruise from an IV. Such an amazing women, leader, and life.
She probably was on blood thinners and had heart issues? Someone mentioned anemia or leukemia (blood Cancer).
Her right hand looked bruised and her right leg and ankle looked swollen, too! Something was starting to go wrong and shutting down!
@@judithscobee8102 While I was donating blood at 18 for the blood drive, I found out I was “dangerously anemic”. They actually wanted to call an ambulance, I told them I had lacrosse practice, the lady said she was surprised I could walk. I’ve had iron infusion quite a few times. The reason I think she had an IV is the coloring and size looks like a vein was blown 1-2 days prior, if you look it even creeped down to her fingers. Everything is speculation though, and we probably will never know. Your theory could very well be correct too.
Personally, I think she died from grief. Grief is a very powerful, distressing emotion especially when it relates to a life partner. A person can lose their will to live, the ability to fight trivial illness and tend to eat less and neglect themselves.
She probably had a trivial illness, such as a cold which her weakened immune system and will just didn't want to fight.
May HRM Queen Elizabeth II forever rest in Peace...she was such a stoic Monarch from a such young age, and conducted such a brilliant job throughout her 70 year reign through good and some otherwise indifferent times...there will never be another like her...God Bless ma'am!!!!
Cheers from Sydney Australia!!!!
It's 70 years of service. She was a remarkable women. I am Canadian but it really touched me when she passed away 😔😔😔😔
Thank goodness someone else noticed this too. The Platinum Jubilee was for 70 years, not 75. I wish people would get their facts straight.
She was a very elegant lady with a pair. She believed in her country of England And her exceptional Call to service. I wish we would have politicians here in the United States that believe that way but that's another topic all together.
Well said
Bruising in very elderly people, and HM was very elderly, is very common..The slightest knock or scuff can cause profuse bruising.Her last official photo shows her standing rigid.I also was shocked at her massive weight loss. I could see,and I was probably not the only person,that HM was unwell.I would hope that the Queen did pass away peacefully with her family by her side in her final hours.
My mum remarried after my dad passed away (at just 51 from cancer 😢) Mum died totally out of the blue from a pulmonary embolism 5 weeks post total knee replacement. My step dad was a different man after that. He was 57 when she passed (she was 61) He had ongoing cardiac issues and heart attacks, suffered greatly w depression and anxiety and became reclusive (retired himself at 60). We hadnt been able to get in touch with him for weeks (which wasn’t unusual as he just wouldnt answer his phone or texts) Had police do a welfare check, and he was deceased in bed, they think another heart attack; and he’d been there for up to 2 weeks 😭😭 I said right from the start, he died from a broken heart, just couldnt go on without my mamma. The guilt we feel is immense 😩😩😩
I really believe it was a broken heart that caused Queen Elizabeth to die. She seemed to lose the will to live when Philip died.
So if the queen died of a broken heart. That means the only person she liked was her husband. She wouldn't die of a broken heart if she was happy with her subject and other members of the family.
@@michaelpower4372 It is a real occurrence people have been known to die with in days of there partners death. I went to a friends fathers funeral and one week latter to the day we were back there again for his mothers funeral.

@@debbieanne7962 He loves everyone equaly
Ir's possible that her doctors were giving her fluids via an IV. Sometimes, especially in elderly people, they acquire bruising where the needle is inserted in the skin. I have had that happen to me many times. When my mother passed away, she had bruising all along one of her arms where the nurse's were trying to get an IV started, thus causing her bruising. The bruising was a result of having to be stuck many times because her veins had collapsed. She finally told the nurses "no more, no point," and the nurse's finally stopped. But her arms were badly bruised from being stuck so many times. This may be what happened to the Queen. The doctors may have been trying to keep her well hydrated and were possibly giving her medicines through the IV. Just a thought.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
I answered this question to someone else on another video. Take what I say with a pinch of salt but you're close to the truth. Her Majesty was found unresponsive by her Lady-in-Waiting in the morning.
The Queen would normally rise early (between 8am and 9am) and the Lady-in-Waiting would draw a bath for her. As you mentioned, the Queen was having mobility issues and needed help to get into the bath and out afterwards. A frame was being used to get about her room, but she was getting the occasional bruise. As you get older, your skin gets thinner and slower to heal. Bruises last longer and are a source of thrombosis. It is highly likely that one of these thrombosis clots moved during the night, but was not immediately fatal, but it restricted the amount of oxygen to the brain, causing the Queen to fall into a coma.
Her Majesty was probably discovered still asleep by her Lady-in-Waiting and could not be woken. The doctors were alerted and after an examination they concluded that the Queen was in the final stages of life, unresponsive to stimuli and shallow breathing and they alerted the servants to call the family to Balmoral as Her Majesty was fading away. The doctors may have provided oxygen to assist, to prolong her life until the family could arrive.
The Prince of Wales and his sister, the Princess Royal were staying close by and were alerted first. The other members of the family had to travel from London and gathered at RAF Northolt for the brief flight North and then by cars to Balmoral. As we now know, Princes Andrew and Edward and his wife the Countess of Wessex were driven by Prince William to Balmoral but arrived about an hour after the Queen had passed. Prince Harry travelled separately and arrived at Balmoral at just before 8pm.
A lot of old people die in their sleep because an underlying health condition causes a problem that either restricts their breathing or they suffer a stroke. As you get older and have reduced physical fitness, you become susceptible to dying from lack of oxygen. Given Her Majesty's lack of mobility (she was a fit woman only a few years ago) and reduced appetite, the Queen was getting more frail by the years. This was exacerbated when Prince Philip passed. They were in adjoining bedrooms (so she could get some sleep from the Duke's snoring) and they usually left the door open between the rooms in the morning so they could chat whilst they were getting up and at their desks. I think it highly likely that after the Duke's death, the Queen found it difficult to continue. This is true of many married couples where one spouse departs. Even though the Queen had Ladys-in-Waiting to assist her to her everyday needs, it's not quite the same as the spouse that you've lived your life with.
There was also talk that the Queen knew that she was getting frail and had decided that she wanted to die in the Highlands at Balmoral. She really loved the place and hated having to leave it in the Autumn to return to Windsor, even though Windsor Castle was her main 'base of operations'. The Queen usually had a few gin and tonics in the evening. Her mother was a big fan of this too. Alcohol has the effect of thinning the blood and makes it easier to relax. Unfortunately, her doctors said that she had to give up on her drinks.
I do not believe that the Queen's death was intentional at all but that it may have been that she knew that these were the last few years of her life and after losing the Duke and her ability to attend the events she always enjoyed (such as the Highland Games), Her Majesty was finding it difficult to carry on.
Indeed, I was wondering all alone and asking myself like why? How comes? She was on duty the day before her death how could this have happened? I didn't expect her her to suddenly sleep off so soon. Every now and then we see her on duty and it's sad now that she is asleep. Thank you for relaying such a informative message about Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II deathbed message. This really helps people like me who always wants to know more information. May She Rest in Peace.
Lady C, a friend of the Royals, announced on her CZcams before the official announcement that the queen had died and mentioned bone cancer.
I had read, while at the hospital not long ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia (blood Cancer)! It didn’t get much publicity about it (hushed up?)! She may have had a bone marrow transplant? She was strong to do her Platinum Jubilee and meet the new PM as her last act as Queen!
@@judithscobee8102 it’s was fake news
Rest in Peace her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Charles will never ever be able to fill her spot...
No, He will respect her duty and style but take the monarchy his way.
Yeah a lot of people don’t understand that old age itself isn’t a cause of death. Old age makes you weaker and more susceptible to something that can kill you. My great grandma died in her 90s when I was 8 and I remember my family telling me that she had died of old age. It wasn’t until I got older and was reflecting on my last memories with my great grandma that I realized she must’ve had Alzheimer’s. (I’m sure my family knew this and just didn’t want to explain Alzheimer’s to me though)
I believe her majesty was ill for some time. I think her majesty had a drip in her hand hence the discolouration.
They reason I say this is because my grandmother also had a cannula in her hand causing bruising looking very similar due to her skin and age.
Also if you look at her majesty’s eye one of them look bloodshot indicating she was ill also it makes sense why she was taken to balmoral I believe to die in peace and quiet away from the hustle & bustle of London & also prying eyes. She also as you said took a back seat to duties except really important ones indicating some sort of illness they were trying to hide.
I could be wrong but it makes sense to me.
Rest in peace your majesty. 💔
