After her husband Prince Philip's death in 2021, the Queen's health started to gradually decline. On September 8, 2022, the Queen’s doctors began to feel concerned for her health and placed her under medical supervision in Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Her family rushed to be with her, but she died hours later at the age of 96, ending a historic 70-year reign as the British monarch. Her last royal activity occurred two days earlier, when the ailing Queen appointed Liz Truss as the fifteenth and final prime minister under her rule. She was succeeded by her son, who became King Charles III.
She was the mother of King Charles III.
