Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) apparently worked until shortly before her death – despite her age and an allegedly serious illness. At least that’s what Gyles Brandreth (74) writes in his book “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait”, from which the “Daily Mal” reports. The work is scheduled to appear in December.

It states that the Queen passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle on September 8th. Princess Anne (72) and King Charles (74) were at her bedside. Brandreth also claims in his book that he heard the monarch allegedly had bone marrow cancer before she died. However, the Queen accepted with “grace” that her time was “limited,” according to the author. Officially, the queen died of old age.

According to the “Daily Mail”, Brandreth reports on some of the appointments that the late 96-year-old held between September 3rd and 6th – two days before her death. During her last weekend, the monarch met Reverend Iain Greenshields, who is said to have seen her in “fantastic form”. The two would have talked about horses, the church and the Ukraine at dinner together. After the Queen’s death, the cleric said the Queen told him she had “no regrets whatsoever”.

According to Brandreth’s book, Elizabeth II still had work to do on September 6th. She called racehorse trainer Clive Cox to talk about one of her horses. She then said farewell to Boris Johnson (58) as Prime Minister and met his successor Liz Truss (47). There are also official pictures from this meeting where the Queen can be seen smiling.
