“But her death has shown how important the royal family is to all of us – I wish King Charles the very best.”
Ahead of the Jubilee, the Queen’s health deteriorated which resulted in the late Monarch reducing her workload, with Counsellors of State stepping in for her.
Sadly, doctors issued a statement around midday on September 8, explaining she was under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle.
Just hours later, it was confirmed Her Majesty had passed away “peacefully” at her beloved Scottish home, aged 96.

Following the death of The Queen, members of her family including King Charles III, Princess Anne and the new Prince of Wales, Prince William.
