September 8 marked the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death, with everyone from Prince William and Princess Kate to Prince Harry marking the day in their own ways. The late Queen, who died in 2022 at the age of 96, was suffering from a form of bone marrow cancer, according to multiple reports. But in his new memoir, The Royal Insider, former royal butler and footman Paul Burrell reveals that Queen Elizabeth allegedly had one request for her doctors after hearing about her prognosis.
In an excerpt from the book serialized in the Daily Mail, Burrell writes that Queen Elizabeth received her cancer diagnosis "just a few months" after Prince Philip died in April 2021. "It was devastating for her so soon after losing him," he notes in the book. She didn't tell anyone outside of her "circle of trust," which included "her pages, her footmen and her dressers."
