It was a big shock for the entire world. After more than 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth (✝96) died in September 2022. The British woman took her last breaths at her Balmoral Castle. Further details about the monarch’s death remained hidden from the public – until now. A document now reveals what the Queen’s last minutes looked like.
In his new book “Charles III: New King, New Court. The Inside Story,” author Robert Hardman publishes a previously secret note written by the royal private secretary Sir Edward Young. He was present at the Queen’s last breaths. According to Sir Edward, the 96-year-old “didn’t notice anything anymore.” She fell asleep very peacefully and had no pain.
The loss of the Queen is still very painful for her relatives. In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly, Zara Tindall (42) revealed how much she is still grieving for her grandmother. “When you have someone who has a big influence in your life, it leaves a void,” she revealed.
