Although the news of the queen’s passing wasn’t made public until around 6.30pm, the entry into the National Records of Scotland — which was signed by the monarch’s daughter, Princess Anne — revealed she actually passed away at 3.10pm.

This means that a number of the queen’s relatives, including her sons Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and Prince William, were still travelling to her Balmoral Estate in Scotland when she died.

A private plane carrying the quartet took off from RAF Northolt at 2.39pm and landed in Aberdeen, around an hour away from the estate, at 3.50pm.

William’s brother, Prince Harry, arrived a few hours later on a separate flight.

As well as Anne, the queen’s son, the new King Charles, was also by his mother’s side when she passed away.

Medical experts, speaking on condition of anonymity to the Herald Sun, said the Queen met the criteria of “geriatric syndrome,” which means a range of symptoms, rather than a single cause, contributed to her death.

According to the newspaper, the Queen met five of the seven criteria required to be considered frail: being over 85, having ongoing health problems, requiring regular help and being forced to carry out activities and carry a stick.

In her final year, the Queen had to cancel public appearances, citing back problems and mobility issues.

Over the weekend, Buckingham Palace released a photo of the queen’s final resting place.

The monarch was buried in The King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle on September 19, and the ledger stone marking the site shows her name inscribed in gold lettering, alongside her parents, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, King George VI and her late husband Prince Philip.

“The King George VI Memorial Chapel sits within the walls of St George’s Chapel, Windsor.”

The ledger stone also includes the names and dates of birth of each of the royals.

Buckingham Palace previously confirmed that the late monarch was laid to rest alongside Prince Philip, who died in April 2021, aged 99.

A statement on the royal family’s website read: “The Queen was buried together with the Duke of Edinburgh, at The King George VI Memorial Chapel.”
