Queen Elizabeth II Dies Aged 96

The Elizabethan age has come to an end: Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-reigning monarch, has died at the age of 96 at Balmoral on 8 September 2022.

The palace released a statement earlier this afternoon 8 September 2022 to say The Queen’s doctors were concerned about her health, since which members of her family had been travelling to be with her.

A statement from the palace followed shortly afterwards: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

Throughout her 70-year reign, it was duty first, family second and horses a very close third.
