The time of death is listed as 3:10 p.m.,nearly two hours before Princes Andrew and Edward,along with Prince William,arrived at Balmoral. The public announcement of her death came roughly three and a half hours later. King Charles III and Princess Anne were already present at Balmoral when the Queen died. Anne is listed as the informant on the certificate.
Windsor Castle was noted as the Queen’s usual residence. Her occupation was listed as “Her Majesty the Queen.” The certificate also names her late husband, prince Philip, as well as her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
Dr. Douglass Glass, who had been Apothecary to the Household at Balmoral as at least 2009, signed the death certificate.
NHS Education for Scotland guidelines state that “old age” can be listed as the sole cause of death only when the doctor has observed a gradual decline in health over a long period, is unaware of any specific illness or injury contributing to the death, and the patient was over 80.
