Re: ROYALS: Queen Elizabeth KNEW Time Was Short & Thought Where to Spend Her Final Da
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth KNEW Her Time Was Limited....
Charles Was Impatient to be King OR Regent in Queens' Last Years:
The Then Prince Was Reluctant Not to Seem Impatient, as He Had Done Previously Over The Years
Daily Mail 14 JAN 2024
Right to the end, the Queen was endearingly reluctant to cause unnecessary inconvenience to others.
The Queen knew full well that her remaining time was limited. She had been giving serious thought as to where she might spend her final days and discussed it within the family.
'There was a moment when she felt that it would be more difficult if she died at Balmoral,' says Princess Anne (every monarch since the creation of Great Britain had died in England).
'And I think we did try and persuade her that shouldn't be part of the decision-making process. So I hope she felt that that was right in the end.'
The precise cause of the Queens' death, says a close friend of the family, will never be known because she had been suffering from multiple conditions in her final year.
'She had come to realise that the medical prognosis meant she was not going to emulate her mother and reach 100, so she had been determined to make the most of that [final] year,' says one friend.
'She made sure she had all the family up over the summer, so that the young ones in particular would always be left with happy memories of her.'
Well before the Queen had become noticeably frail, there had been years of anxiety within the Royal Household about how long she could continue to reign.
However, preliminary planning for the accession and coronation of the next monarch had actually begun at the end of 2015.
NB; There is NO Living Queen, by Historical Royal Proclamation, Camilla is Merely a 'CONSORT' To King Charles
