Almost three months after her death, a new book on Queen Elizabeth II claims the UK monarch had been battling cancer in the last months of her life despite the official death certificate claim that the sovereign He died of “old age” at the age of 96, at Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, on September 8.
The writer and journalist Gyles Brandreth, confidant of the late Prince Philip, portrays in his new book Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait how was the life of the British monarch in her last months. According to the queen’s biographer, Elizabeth II battled a “painful” bone marrow cancer in the last year of her life.
I had heard that the queen had a form of myeloma, bone marrow cancer, which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility problems’ we were often told about in the last year of her life. The most common symptom of this disease is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and back.
In her last months of life, the health of the British sovereign worsened and her fragility grew, forcing her not to participate in various public engagements. Buckingham Palace then reported that she suffered from “mobility issues”.
The truth is, His Majesty always knew that the time he had left was limited. She accepted this with all the grace she could hope for.
In addition, Brandreth wrote that Elizabeth II had periods when she felt very depressed but was determined to continue her role after Prince Philip’s death in April 2021.
However, the writer claims that by October 2021, the queen had worked so hard to carry out her official duties that she suffered a sudden decompensation, for which she had to be hospitalized and doctors urged her to take her royal duties more seriously. Calm down. As a consequence, the queen herself canceled her duties for a year before her death.
Another typical symptom of bone marrow cancer is anemia, which can present in the form of bruising. This was precisely the indication that sparked speculation about cancer days before his death.
On September 6, Elizabeth II received the now former Prime Minister Liz Truss at Balmoral Castle, Scotland. In photographs of this event, the bruises on the queen’s hands were clearly visible.
According to specialists, in an older woman like her, bruises that are not the result of trauma indicate problems with blood clotting or cancer.
So far, no member or spokesperson of the British royal family has issued any position regarding the recent information on the supposed cause of death of Queen Elizabeth II.
