London, Europe Brief News – The National Records of Scotland released the death certificate of the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II.
According to the certificate, the UK’s longest-reigning monarch died of old age.
The certificate, published on Thursday, records her time of death as 3:10pm (14:10 GMT).
According to the document, her death was registered by Princess Anne, on September 16 at 6:30pm (17:30 GMT).
The detail confirms that the queen died as a number of her family – including her grandsons, the new prince of Wales, Prince William. Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry – were still travelling to Scotland to be with her.
Her son, the now-King Charles III, and daughter, Princess Anne, were at Balmoral as she died. They had already been in Scotland undertaking public engagements prior to September 8.
Buckingham Palace had released a statement just after 12:30 pm (11:30 GMT) that day to say doctors were concerned about the queen’s health and that she would remain under medical supervision. The queen, who spent 70 years on the throne, had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace had called “episodic mobility problems” since the end of last year, forcing her to withdraw from nearly all her public engagements.
Meanwhile, long queues of tourists, many with advance tickets, stretched back along the narrow streets outside the castle’s stately walls for a chance to visit the site.
