Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96
Reading Time: 2 minutes
This news had been feared for several months. The numerous absences of Queen Elizabeth II during official events had betrayed an increasingly fragile state of health of the British sovereign. If Buckingham Palace had done everything to reassure, the British (and the whole world) had prepared for the worst.
A concern that had grown on Thursday when the Queen had been placed under medical supervision in his castle of Balmoral in Scotland.
Unfortunately, we learned that the Queen of England has finally died at the age of 96 years.
Since a night in hospital nearly a year ago for tests that were never specified, the queen, whose health was declining, had been increasingly rare. On Tuesday, the Queen made Liz Truss official as Prime Minister, her 15th head of government in her 70-year reign. She had decided to stay at Balmoral instead of returning to London where the transition usually takes place because of her health problems.
Images released by the palace showed the sovereign smiling and leaning on a cane, shaking hands with the new leader.
On Wednesday evening, the palace announced that the queen had postponed an online meeting after her doctors advised her to rest.
For months, she has been delegating an increasing number of her duties to her son Charles, who in May delivered the Speech from the Throne in Parliament for the first time, one of her key constitutional functions.
At the beginning of June, the British celebrated the 70th anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II, the world’s oldest reigning monarch, for four days. She was virtually absent from the platinum jubilee, appearing only twice briefly on the balcony of Buckingham Palace before tens of thousands of people.
A few weeks later, however, she made several public appearances in Scotland, appearing smiling and carrying a cane at an armed forces parade in Edinburgh in late June.

Alexei Navalny’s body, which his relatives had been demanding for over a week, has been handed over to his mother, the Russian opposition leader’s spokeswoman said on Saturday.
In recent days, Alexeï Navalny’s team has regularly complained about not having access to the body of the deceased Russian opponent. His relatives had complained that investigators would spend at least 14 days carrying out an “expertise” on his remains before handing them over.
Navalny’s relatives accuse the Kremlin of killing him and trying to cover up his tracks. According to Navalny’s mother, Russia is trying to decompose the body so that it can no longer be examined. Last week, Alexei Navalny’s mother and lawyers were not allowed to enter the morgue.
Eight days after his death, Navalny’s body was returned to his mother. The Russian opponent’s spokeswoman, Kira Iarmich, said on X (ex-Twitter) that she did not yet know whether “the authorities will prevent (the funeral) from taking place as the family wishes and as Alexei deserves ».
Alexei Navalny was the most prominent opposition figure in Russia, where he gained widespread popularity, particularly among the younger generation, thanks to his in-depth investigations into corruption under Vladimir Putin’s regime
