2 Most of Her Family Didn’t Make It In Time to Say Goodbye
At the time she passed away, most of her close family were not with her. In fact, the Duke of Cambridge, Duke of York, and Earl and Countess of Wessex were en route to see her, on an RAF plane to Aberdeen.
3 King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Princess Anne Were with Her
However, her son Charles, then Prince of Wales, now King Charles, was at Balmoral with his mother. So was his wife, Queen Camilla, then the Duchess of Cornwall, along with his sister, Anne, the Princess Royal.
4 She Died of Old Age
On the certificate, her occupation is listed as “Her Majesty the Queen” and her “usual address,” Windsor Castle. The cause of death? Simply old age, as is generally the case when someone over 80 years old passes away. Dr. Douglas James Allan Glass, a local GP who held the title of Apothecary to the Queen, is listed as a certified registered medical practitioner.
5 Her Death Was “Not Unexpected”
Dr. Glass called her death “upsetting” but added that it was “not unexpected” because of her age. “We have been concerned about the Queen’s health for several months,” he told The Times. “It was expected and we were quite aware of what was going to happen.”
