According to a royal expert, Queen Elizabeth knew she would not come back from Balmoral “and wanted to pass there.”
Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent, Katie Nicholl, said she believes the queen had chosen her Scottish residence in Balmoral as the place she wanted to be when she passed - rather than at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle.
Before the monarch’s passing on Thursday, September 8, the 96-year-old spent a lot of time at her beloved Balmoral estate this summer as she reportedly struggled with "mobility issues".
