DETAILS OF DEATH CERTIFICATE REVEALED

THE Queen died from old age, Her Majesty’s official death certificate revealed yesterday. 

The document, released by National Records of Scotland, noted the time of the Queen’s death as Thursday September 8 as 3.10pm.

The timing on the historic document, which gives the monarch’s occupation as “Her Majesty The Queen”, means that only King Charles and his only sister, the Princess Royal, were by their mother’s side when she died at Balmoral three weeks ago today.

Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie Countess of Wessex, were in the air when the Queen passed away.

They had been heading to Aberdeenshire and took off from RAF Northolt in West London, at 2.39pm, landing an hour later. Prince Harry made his own journey to Scotland on a jet from Luton after his grandmother died.

He landed in Aberdeen at 6.46pm, 16 minutes after the Palace’s announcement. The informant of her death was the Princess Royal, who would have notified the local registrar.

Douglas James Allan Glass, a Highlands-based GP, is noted as the certifying registered medical practitioner.
