Detail in Queen’s death certificate reveals cause of death
The cause of Queen Elizabeth II’s death has finally been confirmed as “old age” after her death certificate was released.
The National Records of Scotland shared the official certificate which notes the monarch died at 3.10pm on September 8 in Balmoral Castle.
Princess Anne is listed as the official informant about the Queen’s death, as she was by the monarch’s bedside until the end.
The timing of the Queen’s death means that many of her family members arrived slightly too late to say a last goodbye.
King Charles and Princess Anne were the only two family members to be with Her Majesty as she died.
