Queen Elizabeth sadly passed away on Sept. 8. Even though she was already 96 years old and preparations for her passing have long been put in place, the announcement still came as a shock to everyone. Hours before her passing, a statement was released saying that her doctors were worried about her. Not long after, a sign was placed outside the gates of Balmoral confirming that the queen had died.
But even before she passed away, there was already a slew of rumors surrounding her health. Several publications insisted that Queen Elizabeth did not have long to live, even though their claims are baseless. Here’s a look at some of the most dubious claims regarding Her Majesty’s health before she passed on.
Queen Elizabeth Dying Of Stress Because Of Prince Andrew, Prince Harry, And Meghan Markle
In November 2021, National Enquirer alleged that the then-monarch had a feeling that her days were already numbered because she had been dealing with too much stress. But since she promised to serve The Crown until her dying breath, she refused to abdicate and carried on with her duties.
“Frankly, Prince Harry and Meghan’s bitter attacks on the family, Harry’s feud with his brother, Prince William, and the rape scandal Prince Andrew denies are sending Her Majesty to the grave too soon. The palace is panicked. They don’t want the public to know how serious the situation is. But the truth is, Her Majesty is fighting for her life,” the source said.
