Feel quite sad and tearful about The Queen

Yes, she was 96 years of age, yes she was old, yes she probably had ill health but she’s the only monarch I and quite a lot of people Will have known.

I was sitting watching ITV news earlier and they were talking about her health then suddenly it was announced she had passed. It was expected but I just felt so shocked and saddened.

Some people may not have liked her or the royal family, but at the end of the day she was an old woman and she did give 70 years of her life to the country. She was like the nation’s grandmother.

We will never have another like her. I hope she’s at peace now with her beloved Philip 💐

Do you think she knew when she came to Balmoral that there was a chance she might not return to Windsor etc ? I wonder if she chose to stay at Balmoral as she was very happy there previously.

There has been speculation that she did know she was going to pass soon and chose to stay at Balmoral.

Not sure though, apparently she didn’t spend summers at Balmoral anyway.

She maybe did know she was going to pass soon as she would have known herself she was getting weaker, whether or not she knew she was going to pass last week is another thing.
