The royal family confirmed her death online, stating that she "passed peacefully" without elaborating on the cause. Her passing put Charles, her eldest son, on the throne as King Charles III.
King Charles, formerly called Prince Charles, said in a statement:
“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty the Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family. We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”
Buckingham Palace said earlier on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II had been placed under medical monitoring and that her physicians were "concerned" about her health. She remained in Balmoral for most of the summer.
After her physicians ordered her to rest, she unexpectedly cancelled a virtual meeting with members of her Privy Council on Wednesday evening.

On Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth met with the new prime minister Liz Truss – the queen's fifteenth prime minister during her reign — despite breaking with precedent by receiving her at Balmoral rather than Buckingham Palace due to her infirmities.
Since the royal family did not disclose the real cause of Queen Elizabeth’s death. Speculations and shocking theories hounded the untimely demise of King Charles’ mother.
One theory suggested that Queen Elizabeth died due to the COVID-19 vaccine. One netizen wrote, "The Covid vaccines target old people, look at the queen.” A second Twitter user shared, "The queen was poisoned with vaccine.”
To recall, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip had their first COVID-19 vaccination in January 2021. A year later, she tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. At the time of her diagnosis, she had been completely immunized and got a booster dose, according to news sources.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older persons are more likely to become very ill with COVID-19. People 65 and over who got both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccinations had a 94% reduced chance of being hospitalized due to the disease.
Studies have demonstrated that immunizations are safe and that serious adverse effects, such as death, are uncommon. Hence, claims that Queen Elizabeth died due to the COVID-19 vaccine is likely untrue.

Other rumors suggested that the mother of King Charles possibly died of lymphoma. Dr. Gabe Mirkin told Radar Online:
“In an elderly woman like her, bruising that’s not the result of trauma points to the loss of clotting component and indicates a blood cancer, like leukaemia or lymphoma. Leukemia kills because it leaves you defenceless against germs and cancer cells. It also causes your body to produce fewer red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the heart and brain — leaving you anaemic. This can also cause clotting and heart failure.”
King Charles and the royal family have yet to reveal the real cause of Queen Elizabeth’s death. So, devoted supporters of the late monarch should take all these speculations with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
