A royal commentator has recalled the moment he did the washing up with the Queen after enjoying a picnic together. Dickie Arbiter shared his fond memories of Queen Elizabeth II as he appeared on Good Morning Britain the morning after her death was announced.
Concerns for the Queen's health started to grow on Wednesday night (September 7) when she pulled out of a virtual Privy Council on Wednesday, a day after appointing Liz Truss as PM at Balmoral Castle. This soon changed to deep worry on Thursday afternoon when, at 12.32pm, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying royal doctors were concerned for health.
Then, at around 6.30pm on Thursday evening, it was confirmed that her Majesty had died peacefully at Balmarol, her Scottish Highlands home, at the age of 96. The Palace said in a brief statement: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
