Old age is an acceptable cause of death if the doctor certifying the death has cared for the patient for a long time, and was not aware of any disease or injury that may have contributed to the death, and had observed a gradual decline in the patient’s general health.
The Queen had sporadic mobility problems during the final period of her life, and she was regularly seen with a walking cane.
Due to her mobility issues, the monarch had withdrawn from most of her public engagements.
The Queen spent her summer break in Balmoral as per tradition, and performed one of her major duties of inviting Truss to form a government and become her 15th prime minister two days prior to her death.
