Royal News | The Queen Has Died At The Age Of 96 On This Sad Day
I am very disheartened and sad to announce the death of a truly amazing and significant women, Queen Elizabeth II. She passed at the age of ninety-six on September 8th, 2022 at Balmoral Castle. The palace has officially announced that she passed this afternoon. Her legacy will live on forever.
The Queen died peacefully among family. King Charles and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and plan on returning to London tomorrow. The royal family website is updating the appropriate changes as the world awaits more news on this historically tragic death.
Her family gathered at her Scottish estate after concerns grew about her health earlier on Thursday.
The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.
With her death, her eldest son Charles, the former Prince of Wales, will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “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.”
All the Queen’s children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision.
Her grandson, Prince William, is also there, with his brother, Prince Harry, on his way.
Obituary: A long life marked by a sense of duty
Queen Elizabeth II’s tenure as head of state spanned post-war austerity, the transition from empire to Commonwealth, the end of the Cold War and the UK’s entry into – and withdrawal from – the European Union.
Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Liz Truss, born 101 years later in 1975, and appointed by the Queen earlier this week.
She held weekly audiences with her prime minister throughout her reign.
The Queen was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in Mayfair, London, on 21 April 1926.

Thanks for sharing!
Reblogged this on Dave Does History*.
Thanks for reposting. Long live the king!
A sad day. Things change, one can only hope Charles will do a better job as King than as Prince.
I hope he is a good king too!
While her death brings news of sadness, 96 years is truly well-lived!
And what an amazing life and difference she has made in those 96 years! She will be forever remembered.
* 96 years are

Hey. I’ve was worried because I haven’t seen your posts in a while. I came to check and it seems you haven’t updated in a while.
I hope you are doing well and simply taking a well-deserved break.
All the best!
Thank you. Yes I am okay. Just really busy with school, work, and life. Hopefully after the holidays I will have more time and can start posting again soon! 😍
Glad to hear that everything is fine on your end. You honestly had me worried. 🙂
So sorry to have worried you. Just am very busy with school. This semester has proved more challenging then expected but I will get back to posting very soon!
I can only imagine. Getting kids back to school is always tough. But even more so with all restrictions, masks etc. Of course, family always comes first. But I am glad to hear you are doing well otherwise 🙂
