Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Buckingham Palace announced that she “died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon” on September 8, 2022, with family by her side. Balmoral has long been one of the Queen’s private residences and a retreat hewn into the Scottish Highlands.

If you’d like, I can pull up additional reputable sources or provide a brief timeline of the events surrounding her death and the subsequent actions (Operation Unicorn, London Bridge) for deeper context.
