What did the Queen die of?

kneemos

And why is it a secret?

Strumms

Supposedly bone cancer..

maybe a secret because they would be asked how long it was known that she was dying and was it not in the public interest to know…

Wezz

It’s not a secret, it’s private. The public don’t need to know.

Got a letter from welfare looking for proof she was seeking work.

The rumour is cancer but in any event she was 96, geriatric ailments take a toll.

I do think that come the worst of Britain's winter. When energy costs, flu, covid and the choice to heat or eat start taking a toll...

That the cause of death will be trotted out and the Plebs will be be reminded that her Maj worked up to the day before she died 🤷‍♂️ So however hard the public has it, her Maj worked for the glory of the UK until she pegged it. The least the Plebs can do is keep calm and carry on.

So said Plebs will shut up, put on a second jumper and boil their shoes a bit longer before eating them.

Shit show of performative mourning and anachronistic pageantry that does nothing for the people.

Truss poisoned her.

I’m always amused by people who puzzle over the death of someone in their 90s+.

These are the people who simply don’t accept that they themselves are ever going to die, and more then that, they fully expect that they will never have to deal with the death of a loved one.

How did this happen?

What does David Icke say about it?

Which Queen?

If you mean Queen Elisabeth she was 96. I hate to break it to people but we are all going to die sometime.

I’m a person fascinated by science, so I’m naturally curious as to what finally caused her to pop her clogs, never mind she was of a certain age where it’s kind of on the cards. I’m guessing that if the alleged cancer hadn’t hit her she might, like her mother, have lived a lifespan 100+. But was it primary or secondary bone cancer, that’s where my curiosity would lie. Probably primary, but if it were secondary the primary would most likely have been breast cancer, and goodness knows if she ever had a mastectomy, which can be done these days as an overnight case. Bone cancer is extremely painful, and causes hypercalcaemia with its kidney damage, so renal failure can be cause of death or else pneumonia with se o diaries on the lung.

She died of death, no mystery . Age gets us all in the end.

It's really none of your business how much pain she was in, or whether her kidneys were functioning.

Damn knew someone was going to beat me to it :-)

Theres another cancer of the bone marrow/blood that the Queen could have died from, the same as the late wife of former CMO Dr Tony Holohan, Myeloma. It often results in fatal kidney failure as the resulting light chains build up in the tubules. This is often a prolonged illness before being fatal. Other possibilities relating to bones are various other forms of blood cancer like Waldenström’s macroglobinaemus, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/lymphoma etc. These are usually present many years before proving fatal in conjunction with other complications. The Queen Mother eventually died from bone marrow failure, albeit at a great age. It’s likely the Queen suffered kidney failure in the end, and often the final result is an acute stroke. All would explain how she was up and about enough to meet Liz Truss two days before. She probably went to bed and was found unresponsive in the morning on the day she died.

Was hardly a skydiving accident, now was it?

Akrasia

At 96 everyone has cancer

Not that the cancer kills them all, lots of other health risks from being almost a century old

Akrasia

Oh, and we all know deep down that she actually died of embarrassment knowing that Liz Truss was the new Prime minister after Johnson finally resigned

To begin with Churchill and Attlee and end with Johnson and Truss.... How truly soul destroying that must be for a 70-year head of state...

Being 96.

My gran was 97 when she died - I just assumed it was old age. Has something been kept secret from me?

spurious

Jesus bone cancer is an awful bugger. If that's true she must have been in a lot of pain. I hope they had her on the good stuff.

Quantum Erasure

It was Harry and Meghan wot did it...

Everyone does of something even in old age, though as long as murder isn’t suspected the autopsy is most often left out. Very often it will be the delayed result of a fall, as happened with two of my mother’s cousins, one age 99, the other 102. The 99 year old said she was fine after the fall, went to bed, turned out a brain haemorrhage had started and she died extremely peacefully.

Duke of Schomberg

Well, that a number people are interested in the death of the UK's Queen and about half-a-dozen people will be interested in the death of Michael D says a lot . . .

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119632037#Comment_119632037

The controversial biography suggested it was the much less painful type of bone cancer, that would be myeloma. Would have been present maybe for years.

Larbre34

There is such a thing as 'old age', which Doctors write on death certificates, quite legitimately, because 'a bit of cancer, bit of heart failure, bit of COPD, bit of bad liver function, bit of low blood pressure, bit of muscular atrophy....is all a bit unnecessary...when you're 96...

The specifics, are none of your business.

She didn’t look a very well woman meeting Truss, skin and bone…not even dressed to her usual formal standards when on official business.

Waldenström’s macroglobinaemus ? Imagine being a doctor and having to say that diagnosis to someone, especially after a few jars.

Spanish Eyes

Lack of breath. Gets us all in the end no matter what underlying condition or none that we have.

When my late mother was in the nursing home there was a lady there who was 104 at the time, and took the bus every day to Adam and Eve's church for morning Mass. Straight as a ramrod and walked every day. She is still alive and is second oldest person in the country. Some of you may have guessed who she is.

She is in the NH because they got rid of the independent sheltered apartments in the grounds (where she lived) and so she moved into the big house. Lovely lady. Still walking at 108 now.

@Larbre34

Well Jesus @Larbre34 every facet of the royals' lives are made the public's business, so I don't see why this isn't. No need for the bootlicking! 😉

What makes you think shes dead?

Impetigo

Rumour has it that her heart just stopped and her brain was deprived of oxygen..

As it said, its only a rumour and probably not the true cause of death

She ate too much......cottage pie lol

Bif

Was it work I wonder?

Something more curious to me is the odd hatred and sneering of those who are saddened by her loss and the ceremonial things happening across the water.

In their eyes the outpouring of grief and all that is going on is bizarre and ridiculous. In my eyes their haughty "how silly are the English" is narrow minded and a little....chip on shoulder or something like that.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119632452#Comment_119632452

I was more openminded at the start but when I see the carry-on of the jingoistic, indoctrinated little Englanders, the obscene shutdown, and the riches and wealth when people's heating bills won't be manageable this winter... I can't help thinking "you have been had". Especially poor people.

Yeah there are people just feeling sad about the end of an era, and about the death of a lady who seemed nice (a lot better than her sister and children) but the queuing is just amazingly stupid

When someone uses two birthdays and multiple addresses, doesn't have ID like a driving licence or passport and spends a lot of abroad welfare are right to be suspicious.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119632480#Comment_119632480

The Royal family mean something to the British people that I don't understand but can respect it. Everything we are seeing I think is a manifestation of that meaning. Queen Elizabeth was held in huge regard by so many, for those people they saw her as more than a person. I'd almost go as far as saying she was Godlike in some eyes. If I had have met her or in the future meet Charles or William I will be meeting them as just people because that's how I see them. Through circumstance they have a particular role but they have to pee and poo like us all. I don't think they have 'been had' at all. It's simply the way it is there. As for the heating bills I think the economic and social difficulties in the UK would be still evident without a monarchy.

Collective grief can be a strange thing alright. I have raised an eyebrow reading some commentary from those who say they can't stop crying or there is now a void in their lives. I think though that its acting as a sort of binding agent for them right now. It's bringing people together and that can be very seductive. Everyone joining in and expressing sadness with each other and the belonging that can bring.

Of a Thursday.

I'd go with the heart stopping and lack of brain function.

Who cares. She was 96!

I'll no where near make it to that age. Hopefully it wasn't painful in the last days.

Fair enough. But there were a lot of people who were a good bit younger than her who whose deaths were written off as not mattering when Covid struck. They were people too.
