"The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral on this afternoon.

The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." was the message given by the British Royal Family on Thursday September 8th 2022 at 6 p.m to the entire world.

A news so unexpectedly expected, hopefully but unhopeful filled with a day of dread for many of us royal watchers after the first news from Buckingham Palace earlier in the day about Her Majesty's health issues. “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.”"

The air was filled with dread, the atmosphere around the world was heavy and suspended. At the drop of the first message, the entire world stopped it wasnt easy, the more time was passed, the more the inevitable dread was coming forward. We all knew this day was coming, at 96 year old with 70 years of public service and serving until her dying breath she did indeed.
