Queen Elizabeth II died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96. Her official cause of death, as recorded on her death certificate, was "old age," which typically means death due to natural causes related to aging without a specific disease identified
. However, there have been reports and claims from sources close to the royal family and former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the Queen had been diagnosed with a rare form of bone marrow cancer, specifically multiple myeloma, in the months before her death. This condition could explain symptoms such as tiredness, weight loss, and mobility issues she experienced in her final year
. Despite these claims, Buckingham Palace has not officially confirmed any detailed medical information beyond the cause of death listed as old age. The Queen’s death was described as peaceful, with no pain, and she slipped away in her sleep
