Peacefully in no pain is satisfying it’s pleasing because all the while certainly since passing of prince philli in April 2021 she had been suffering mobility issues she had been in pain but right at the end she wasn’t that’s good news until the Queen’s last moments juty came first it’s reported even after her
Death in a red box she left some notes her recommendations for the order of Merlin and two private letters she was working right up to the end as far as those letters are concerned I would have thought very very personal person s Edward young presumably thanking him for
His unstinting service uh and maybe a little bit of advice to her son who was about to take over and who obviously did take over but there would have been very personal letters and I doubt we’ll see the life of day certainly not in my lifetime one of the recipients of those
Letters is now the custodian of this Palace King Charles was picking mushrooms when shortly afterwards he received a phone call from an aid add addressing him as your majesty and that’s when the penny dropped and so the new king set to work it’s reported he went to his mother’s

Why was King Charles out picking mush rooms😂
Why would it take so long to discover this and expose this now?
Sometimes, I hear her screams & from the deepest & darkest depths of hell. It makes me so happy.
She was how old ?
No one gets out alive except maybe Jimmy
😂 alsof je een margarita pizza op je op een sudoku bord hebt liggen
When they released the images of her on the Tuesday before she passed away I remember commenting that she looked really really frail and the bruising on her hands was concerning
Order of Merlin? WTF?
Her father George VI died peacefully in his sleep and his death was caused by coronary thrombosis which is located in the heart
So, no cancer?
So everybody missed it and she was discovered by a aid not Anne, and Harry complained again for nothing. This family has more hidden lies and secrets then well anyone. Well guess it's not my problem cause it's not my family. We are even more dysfunctional then them but nobody wants to know cos we keep it for therapy time. Ok I'm mean again. LET IT GO PEOPLE SHE WAS 94 IT WAS TIME FOR HER TO GO
There's no Order of Merlin. is this real???
Why couldn't it have been Jayne Secker? 😪🤮🎮
I find it interesting that she died the same way as her father George VI.
"after her death in a red box"? It's not that hard to write a good text and then to read it well.
I’m sorry but did the reporter say “Order of Merlin”? Like it Harry Potter? Or was it Order of Merit?
She was at the party on oxford street actually
Order of Merlin or Order of Merit? Are we in Harry Potter?
1:17 "Her recommendations for the Order of Merlin"
Like the fictional order from Harry Potter? Did I mishear this?
Look at those dark , wicked eyes.
While I respect her as a person, don’t say she worked hard. She had a privileged life and didn’t know a day of “hard work”.
I always just assumed she was going to live forever ❤
now if only the house of windsor was the rightful royal family
Once Prince Philip died it took the life right out of her
it;'s the Order of Merit not the "Order of Merlin" as in the voiceover
1:18 – "Order of Merlin"? what
“Still hard at work”.. I don’t think so 😂
This is not new news. This was known ages ago, immediately after her death.
Soooo….meeting Liz Truss killed the Queen then?
I still miss her as she gave up her life to be monarch and never faltered, even though she seen and been through a lot and in her later years, with her own family. We will never see another such gracious, loyal and loved royal, that she was.
She was, really, a very wonderful and remarkable woman. May she rest easy. ❤️
Why do they say 'slipped' away? She didn't trip on a banana peel! She died!
Also, what does not make sense is we were all told King Charles was with the Queen at the moment of her death, at her bedside. Now they want us to believe he was picking mushrooms when it happened and he didn't find out until some aide addressed him as 'Your Majesty?'
