How did the Queen Die?

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.

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.

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.

[@AtarahDerek]

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.

[@NickHernandez2024]

This a is very likely situation

[@johnhenderson131]

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.

[@MrPaulMorris]

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!

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.

@@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.🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 KZbin 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.

Am i personally affected by Her Majesties death? Not really but i watched her coronation on TV and I've always been impressed with Her dignity and Her obvious love for Her country and Her people. Yes i capitalize words referring to Her. She is a person, a woman and a monarch that i so greatly admire. With all my heart and soul i hope She rests in eternal peace. God Bless this Queen and thus most wonderful person. She is a jewel we probably won't be blessed with for a long time to come.

[@anufoalan]

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.

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 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.

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.

[@muskndusk]

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.

[@ianrogerburton1670]

First, whilst I am neither a monarchist nor British, I commend your respectful and sensitive attitude towards the death of someone who worked so diligently for seven decades for the benefit of her country. My own Mum was born three years before the Queen, which was a generation which put almost religious store on duty. In fact, I knew when my Mum had only a few months left because she stopped doing the housework so that she could stay in bed. Likewise, all the signs that the Queen was dying were shown this year (2022) especially when getting to the balcony at Buckingham Palace was about all that she managed during her final Jubilee. She must have suffered terribly during her last months but even that didn´t stop her going on and granting 40 minute audiences to both of those vile wretches, Johnson and Truss, just two days before she died. Whilst I do not agree that she should have shown such Christian charity towards them, and even though it may well have been the final straw that finally killed her, I cannot but admire her for her dedication whilst also shedding a few tears.

[@baraxor]

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.

[@joywilliams8444]

. Y daughter works with the elderly she thinks stroke as well

[@pamburt]

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!

[@tonitgr222]

thank you...that was my guess also...IV administration

[@MyFiddlePlayer]

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.

[@baraxor]

@@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.

She absolutely could have passed in her sleep, there is this weird thing people do... it’s called a NAP. The bruise on her hand was more than likely from a cannula... she was probably reviving IVs for hydration and maybe for pain relief.

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.

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.

[@floraaficianado5050]

[@kimberlykrupke5715]

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

[@bowtoyoursensei554]

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.

[@AnomalousIntutition]

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.

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.

[@judithscobee8102]

She probably was on blood thinners and had heart issues? Someone mentioned anemia or leukemia (blood Cancer).

[@judithscobee8102]

Her right hand looked bruised and her right leg and ankle looked swollen, too! Something was starting to go wrong and shutting down!

[@sunkissed_grl]

@@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.

BODY DIES NATURAL WAY, IMPORTANT IS HER MAJESTY QUEEN WAS ACTIVE UNTIL HER LAST BREATH AT THE AGE OF 96. ITS A MESSAGE FOR ALL WOMEN'S DON'T WORRY WITH AGE, KEEP WORKING. R.I.P. DEAREST QUEEN

[@betsybabf748]

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.

[@sharonjensen3016]

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.

[@michaelpower4372]

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.

My belovéd Mother passed away suddenly, but peacefully on 5 April 2023. No cachexia, no symptoms, no pain, no protracted illness. I am thankful every day, despite her death that she didn't have to suffer months of pain, failing away....Sometimes, at the end of life, we truly must be THANKFUL about how we leave this earth, and after watching my Granny and Dad die from Cancer, I am thankful. ❤❤❤

[@carleennicholson7537]

I think the only reason Her Majesty hung in there, after Philip's passing, willing herself to live, was that she knew Phillip would want her to recieve her rightful accolades and congratulations for being on throne for 70 years. Once that took place this summer, her fight was over, and she just let nature take its course, and reunite her back with her love, Phillip. ❤❤

[@MariaG-bs9fg]

I agree...The Queen being who she was would have celebrated her Platinum Jubilee as her parting gift to Her beloved people and of course, her family. She would have known the end was nearing or else why decide to live at Balmoral Castle, a place for family, relaxation and vacationing...not conducting business.

[@bernedettekuteyi3843]

Should we be asking, what caused her death?. Leave her alone, she is with her love one's.

[@andrewclark8630]

Part of the grieving process is to ask and try to understand what happened.

[@juliettoler4123]

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.

[@nelliecooper4320]

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.

[@bellabana]

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.

I am a physician, internal medicine, boarded in the US. I too saw the pictures of her hands. There is much more there. It is not unusual for geriatric patients to have very frail, thin skin. Minor injuries, bump will cause bleeding under the skin. Bruising that size is called porpura. Normally, they will be a few centimeters in size, invariably with torn skin from the injury and local bleeding. The queen's bruising goes up her fingers, but NOT down to her wrist. Her arms, as we can see them are fine. Look closely at her left hand. Again, large porpura going up, irregularly into her fingers. Her face is fine, no injuries. No, those hand bruises are NOT due to falling or trauma. Next for a year she has had "mobility issues". Difficulty walking? Difficulty standing? Or like 99% of 96 year old osteoporotic (she was severely stooped for the past year) women, she had difficulty standing without falling, or walking without falling. A cane is worthless for stabilization, and when you see her with the cane, she is hardly using it. They took the dogs away from her a few years ago, and publicly stated they were worried about her falling (until Fergie and Andy, bless their hearts gave her a new set). It is my expert medical opinion that Elizabeth was on blood thinning drugs, warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or some such. In America, where we love to sue doctors for malpractice, giving warfarin to a 96 year old who falls is a guaranteed blank check in medical awards. We know she went down the tubes very, very quickly. She died during the daytime, but with sufficient time for family members to be contacted and called home. Even Harry made it, a bit late. So this physician's educated guess, she had been overdosed with blood thinning meds, she slipped that morning, fell, hit her head, which lead to a hemorragic stroke. The doctors quickly realized what had happened, and that the bleed was massive, irreversible and that death would be prompt and irreversible. I do find it odd that even at 96, she was not rushed to hospital, but that may have been her wishes. Or perhaps the powers in charge decided they had had enough, time for Charles to step in, let her die, no one will know the difference. My two cents. Unless the palace eventually offers up the actual cause of death, I am 99% certain those are the events that led to her sudden and unexpected demise. RIP, my sincerest condolences to the British people. While we in the US consider the monarchy a peculiar institution, it is very clear just how much that woman meant to all of you, and how you have lost someone very dear to all of you. Dr. H, M.D.

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.

When I first heard about the Queen's death, I didn't want to believe it. Even though I am an American, I lived in London for two years, and during all this time, I never saw her. However, I did get to see her son, in a very unusual circumstance. We were going back to our house in Finchley Road from the National Gallery, when my mother suddenly said the words: "Your Royal Highness." That was when I looked over at him, and it was indeed the Prince of Wales. Now that he is the King, I believe people will be able to see him less and less than his mother. I always thought that Queen Elizabeth would stick it out until May 2024 and become the world's longest-reigning monarch. Even though she did not, her reign of seventy years is impressive and her status as longest-reigning British Monarch and longest-reigning female monarch, makes her, in my opinion, the best one. I hope Charles does not disappoint himself, as he did when he was the Prince. The only British King I would genuinely like would be his successor, Prince William.
