THE DEATHS OF THE ELIZABETHAN QUEENS
ELIZABETH I
Elizabeth’s health remained stable until autumn 1602, when the deaths of several close friends deeply affected her. The passing of Catherine Carey, Countess of Nottingham, in February 1603 was particularly devastating. By March, Elizabeth had fallen seriously ill and sank into a deep depression, sitting for hours in silence. When Robert Cecil urged her to rest, she retorted, “Must is not a word to use to princes, little man.” On March 24, 1603, between two and three in the morning, Elizabeth died at Richmond Palace. Within hours, Cecil and the council executed their plans, proclaiming James as the new King of England.
Though Elizabeth’s death is commonly recorded as occurring in 1603, England at the time followed the old calendar, where New Year’s Day fell on March 25. By that system, Elizabeth’s death actually occurred on the final day of 1602. Today, we use the old-style dates for the day and month but adopt the modern calendar for the year.
ELIZABETH II
Elaborate preparations for the event of Queen Elizabeth II’s demise were thorough; they were consistently reviewed and modernized. On the 8th of September, these plans were executed with precision. However, not every eventuality could be predicted.
Balmoral Castle, despite its impressive neo-Gothic façade, offers a more intimate setting in contrast to the vastness of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. This is one of the reasons the late queen held a deep affection for it. The private living spaces and official chambers are in close proximity.
Hence, on the morning of September 8th, it’s safe to assume that most individuals at Balmoral were well aware of the momentous unfolding of events as the queen’s life quietly waned.
Just two days prior, with her signature smile in place despite leaning on a walking stick, she had named her 15th and final British Prime Minister, Liz Truss. However, an announcement made shortly after 6pm the following evening, indicating the queen’s postponement of a virtual privy council meeting on medical advice, raised concerns.
The imminent passing of a monarch is a significant constitutional affair. Downing Street (No 10) would have been promptly informed about her deteriorating health. Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary, and Sir Edward Young, the queen’s private secretary, assumed crucial roles in liaising between the palace and Downing Street.
During that evening, Case relayed the message to Truss that there existed a distinct possibility of the queen’s condition worsening rapidly. As Truss diligently worked on the energy statement – her inaugural and primary act as prime minister – she couldn’t help but be conscious of the potential overshadowing, as sources suggest.
For any personnel at Windsor who may have been uncertain about the gravity of the situation, the departure of the queen’s helicopter from Windsor Castle shortly before 7am, transporting the Prince of Wales from Dumfries House in Ayrshire, where he was staying overnight, to his mother’s bedside, would have undoubtedly caught their attention.
Charles arrived at Balmoral just before 10:30am, and the Duchess of Cornwall was driven from the nearby Birkhall to join him. Meanwhile, the Princess Royal, already in Scotland for her engagements, was already present.
Within Downing Street, Case was unequivocal about the imminent arrival of distressing news, potentially within a matter of hours. Truss, still in the process of packing her belongings for the transition to Downing Street, had aides dispatched to her Greenwich residence to locate appropriate black attire, as detailed in the biography “Out of the Blue.”
William and the other members of the royal family touched down at Aberdeen airport by 3:50 pm, a mere 40 minutes after the queen’s passing. Guided by William at the wheel, they made their way to Balmoral, arriving at 5:06 pm – an hour and 25 minutes ahead of the public announcement.
During this time, the formal process of disseminating the news was already in full swing. An internal palace team was actively reaching out to all individuals who required immediate notification: No 10 Downing Street, Lambeth Palace, the chief of the defense staff, prime ministers, and high commissioners of the other 14 countries where she held the position of head of state, among others.
