Queen Elizabeth II died of old age, death certificate shows

Queen Elizabeth II died of old age, extracts from her death certificate published by the National Records of Scotland published on Thursday, September 29, 2022, reveal.

The document was signed by her daughter, Princess Anne.

The certificate noted that the Queen died aged 96 at 15:10 BST in Balmoral Castle in Scotland on 8 September, 2022.

The death was recorded on 16 September by the Registrar General for Scotland.

Her death certificate also bears the name of her father, King George VI, and mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.

A statement from Buckingham Palace stated that “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”

The Queen's death certificate
A state funeral was held for the late Queen on September 19, 2022.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the Queen’s funeral procession, while guests from around the world took their places in the Westminster Aabbey.

A bell in Westminster Abbey tolled 96 times, counting out the years of Queen Elizabeth II’s long life.

Five hundred heads of state and foreign dignitaries were in London for the ceremony. All heads of state and royals arrived at the Westminster Abbey via a bus with the exception of the US president, Joe Biden, to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

The White House demanded that Biden travels via a six-car motorcade for “security reasons”.

They joined King Charles III and the Royal Family in the congregation at the Westminster Abbey funeral.

At the funeral, the Dean of Westminster paid tribute to the Queen’s “lifelong sense of duty”.

The anticipated cost of the state burial for the British monarch Queen Elizabeth II was USD$9 million.

She was buried at St. George’s Chapel inside Windsor Castle.

The first picture of the new ledger stone marking the Queen’s final resting place in Windsor has been released by Buckingham Palace.

The black burial stone has been set into the floor of the George VI Memorial Chapel, where the monarch was buried.

The stone is engraved in memory of the Queen, her parents, and her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.

It replaces a previous slab dedicated to George VI and the Queen Mother.

The fresh stone now reads “George VI 1895-1952” and “Elizabeth 1900-2002” followed by a metal Garter Star, and then “Elizabeth II 1926-2022” and “Philip 1921-2021”.
