Queen Elizabeth II Cause of Death May Be Revealed Next Week

The world is still reeling from the death of II, who passed away earlier this month at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

Buckingham Palace has yet to release any details surrounding her death, leaving many to speculate about the cause.

However, according to the Scottish Daily Express, the cause of death may be revealed next week following the end of the Royal Mourning Period.

In an official statement, the Royal Family announced that the Queen died peacefully at Balmoral Castle, but did not specify the cause of death.

It was assumed that it was a natural death due to the monarch's advanced age.

Additionally, just two days before her death, she received the newly elected British Prime Minister, Liz Truss, with no apparent symptoms of illness.

Certificates giving the cause and place of death are publicly available from registrars' offices in Scotland for a fee of £10.

However, it is still unclear whether the details will be revealed to the public.

All inquiries to the local authority in Aberdeenshire where the Queen died were referred to National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh.

While official state mourning ended the day after the Queen's funeral on Monday, National Records of Scotland said it would wait until the Royal Family's extended period of mourning concludes next Monday before commenting.

The registration of deaths in Scotland is compulsory in accordance with the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, Scotland Act of 1965.

This Act states that the death of every person dying in Scotland must be registered, including the submission of a death certificate to a registrar, which must be done within seven days of the death occurring.

If the Queen had died in England, there would be no requirement to release an official cause of death because the Registration Act of 1836 does not apply to monarchs.

In Scotland, doctors must report all deaths which are sudden, suspicious, accidental or unexplained to the Crown Office.

However, according to the Scottish Daily Express, the Crown Office in Edinburgh said the Queen's death had not been referred to it as it was not a death that required to be.

Although there has been no official announcement yet, a royal biographer who announced the Queen's death 90 minutes early claims to have been told Her Majesty's cause of death.

According to Lady Colin Campbell, a controversial royal biographer, the Queen was suffering from a serious and invariably fatal condition of the bones prior to her death.

Her Majesty, 96, died on Thursday, September 8, according to Buckingham Palace, at around 6.30pm UK time.

Lady Colin said in the film that the Queen died at 2.37pm after a relatively painless illness.

The royal specialist, who has written books about and the Queen Mother, went on to say Her Majesty died of bone cancer, despite the fact that the palace has not revealed the Queen's cause of death.

Lady Colin refrained from using the word that accurately conveys the medical diagnosis out of deference to Her Majesty's dignity and privacy.

The condition has been induced, in part, according to people who know her well, has been created by the tremendous stress to which she has been subjected over the last three years.

Lady Colin added that she had tried to warn people that the Queen was far more ill than they thought she was.

“I have on several occasions in the last few weeks, if not months, made the point that she had been affected to her bones.

I used that repeatedly to get across the point that what she was suffering from was a malady of the bones.”

There are two maladies of the bones, one is more painful than the other.

Unfortunately, the Queen's malady, although it falls in the same category and condition of the more painful one, has been the less painful one.

It has been restrictive, and Lady Colin did not go into the medical treatments she had been receiving.

Despite her worsening health, the Queen remained in good spirits, according to the biographer.

The video cuts away before returning as Lady Colin claims to have heard that the Queen has already died.

“Having just made this video, it is with great sadness that I have to inform you that events have yet again overtaken one's plans, and I am reliably informed that the Queen died at 1437 p.m. this afternoon,” she says.

“And that the reason why the announcement has not been made so far is that they are waiting for Harry and Meghan to arrive at Balmoral, after which the announcement will be made.”

Lady Colin added, “I think we should be very grateful for having had such a wonderful monarch.

And I think we can be also grateful for the fact that her death was relatively painless.

Bone cancer is not fun.

But she was fortunate enough to have the lesser of the forms of bone cancer, and she kept her spirits and her vitality to practically the end.
