Fans of the royal family have gained rare insight into how Queen Elizabeth II spent her final days.
On September 14th, she was taken to Westminster, where she remained in state for four days, allowing people to pay their respects to the monarch who had been in power for the longest time.
Her grandsons, Prince William and Prince Harry, along with their wives, Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, were seen holding back tears as they stood next to the coffin in footage shared during the opening speech of the Scottish Parliament on September 30th.
King Charles made a personal statement regarding Queen Elizabeth’s decision to spend her final day at Balmoral. He stated, “Scotland has always had a uniquely special place in the hearts of my family and myself. My late mother especially cherished her time at Balmoral, and she chose to spend her final days there in the most beloved of settings.”
Princess Anne, the late monarch’s daughter, previously stated that the location of the Queen’s final resting place was significant to her. In a BBC documentary from 2023, titled *The Unseen Queen*, she revealed, “We did try to convince her that that shouldn’t be a part of making decisions. We are deeply saddened by the loss of a beloved mother and cherished sovereign. I am aware that her passing will have a profound impact not only on the Commonwealth but also on the nation, the realms, and the Commonwealth as a whole. My family and I will be supported and comforted during this time of mourning and change by our knowledge of the Queen’s widespread respect and deep affection.”
