On April 7th, Queen Elizabeth II hit 70 years on the throne with her platinum Jubilee back in June 2022, a first for any. British Monarch. She skipped the big parade procession but showed up on the Buckingham Palace balcony at the end, waving to massive crowds, often was baiting and die. The next day, Palace folks said she was too tired for the Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's, though it wasn't planned anyway. She was from home. On TV? After that week, she missed the Epsom Derby in a concert outside the palace, then made a surprise balcony appearance at the page in finale, stepping out in dark green with her walking stick. No fly pass due to bad weather, but she stole the show as the real grand finale. That last photo of her beaming by the Balmoral fireplace in a cardigan in tartan would turn out to be her final image ever. Folks close to her notice bruising on her hands for medical treatments, and she skipped all of Royal Ascot for the first time. She pushed through a trip to Edinburgh for Scottish duties, then headed to Windsor for
final summer gigs before Balmoral. Officials said she seemed brave, tying up loose ends like seeing her horses and wanting great-grandkids there for good memories. By late summer, her health weakened more, but she insisted on handling the prime minister switch right. Bores Johnson resigned at Balmoral around noon on September 6, and in an hour later, she appointed Liz Truss as her 15th and final PM snapping. That iconic last photo afterward, looking satisfied with the job done. She stayed in bed the next day, under medical watch, with family rushing up. Palace announced she was comfortable but supervised, around 315 PM on September 8. She passed peacefully in her sleep from old age, no pain. King Charles learned the news driving back in A. Land Rover pulling over on a highland road to hear your majesty for the first time.
