Queen Elizabeth II died of “old age” at 3:10 pm on September 8, according to her death certificate released on Thursday, or nearly three-and-a-half hours before the news was announced to the world.
The 96-year-old monarch died at her Balmoral Castle estate in the Scottish Highlands.
Elizabeth was the longest-serving monarch in British history and ruled as head of state for 70 years from 1952.
The certificate released by the National Records of Scotland shows her death was registered on September 16 by the queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne.
Anne said in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace on September 13 that she was present during the last 24 hours of her mother’s life.
