The circumstances surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s death were intriguing, to say the least. Months before she passed, she notably scaled back her royal engagements due to reported “mobility issues,” with many of her responsibilities being transferred to then-Prince Charles. Interestingly, just two days before her death, she was photographed at Balmoral Castle, engaging in her duty by appointing Liz Truss as the new British Prime Minister. The Palace formally announced the queen’s death on September 8, 2022, and per the death certificate, she succumbed to her advanced age.
But royal biographer and former member of the British Parliament, Gyles Brandreth, told a different story, writing in his book, “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait,” that the late royal had dealt with cancer in her final days. “I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life,” he penned (via Daily Mail).
The Palace never confirmed the veracity of these claims, but Dickie Arbiter, who served as the queen’s spokesperson between 1988 and 2000, expressed skepticism. “I don’t think anybody knows what it was. The death certificate said ‘old age.’ I don’t think anyone can confirm whether she did or she didn’t,” he told Newsweek. “It’s a conversation that Charles [her son] had with a doctor who said, ‘I believe that.’ So he didn’t know either. We certainly won’t know anything for the next 100 years.”
