SEE IT: Mourners head to Buckingham Palace after Queen Elizabeth II’s death

Queen Elizabeth II Under 'Medical Supervision'
People gather outside of Buckingham Palace on Sept. 08, 2022, in London, England, amid a palace statement earlier on Thursday that Queen Elizabeth II was placed under medical supervision due to major health concerns.

A large crowd gathered outside Buckingham Palace after it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, died on Thursday. She was 96.

The news of her death comes just hours after it was reported that doctors were “concerned” about the queen’s health and had placed her under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland until further notice. Doctors initially described her condition as being “comfortable,” later announcing she had “died peacefully.”

INSIDE THE ‘LONDON BRIDGE’ PLAN FOR THE QUEEN’S DEATH

Elizabeth reigned over the United Kingdom since 1952, ascending to the throne when she was just 25 years old. She was crowned in 1953 when she was 27. Since then, she has presided as the constitutional monarch over 15 prime ministers and outlasted 12 U.S. presidents.

Queen Elizabeth II health
Buckingham Palace issued a statement before Queen Elizabeth II’s Thursday death, saying royal doctors were concerned for her health, as the Prince of Wales and her other children and the Duke of Cambridge cleared their diaries and immediately headed to her home in the Scottish Highlands.

The news of her death comes after months of poor health. While Elizabeth preferred to remain active, she had missed multiple events because of “episodic mobility problems,” including the State Opening of Parliament that occurred in May. Her absence was the first time in 59 years she had missed the event.
