Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II Passes Away At 96
(CTN News) – Buckingham Palace has announced that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away at the age of 96.
At Balmoral Castle, where she was under “medical supervision”, the Queen breathed her last. Millions of her fans were left in tears and mourning after hearing the tragic news.
The Queen died peacefully, according to the official account of the Royal Family.
Before her death, Queen Elizabeth was surrounded by her sons, daughters, grandchildren, in-laws, and public figures.
Following Buckingham Palace’s statement this morning, her family members rushed to the royal estate.
After the death of the Duke of Edinburgh in April last year, the Queen had been ill.
Several public events have been canceled since last autumn as she struggles with her mobility, often delegating duties to Prince Charles.

Liz Truss was appointed as UK’s new PM two days before Queen Elizabeth II’s death, in a break from tradition because the monarch was suffering from mobility issues.
