Queen Elizabeth II dies, Buckingham Palace announces
LONDON (AA) – Britain’s longest-serving monarch Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, the Buckingham Palace said Thursday.
“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” said the palace.
“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” it added.
The queen had had mobility and health issues for the past 12 months due to old age.
Her final public appearance was during the Platinum Jubilee celebration in June.
A statement on Thursday lunchtime had said the queen was under “medical supervision” at Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
