The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon, the royal family has announced, plunging the nation into mourning.
Her son, the Prince of Wales, automatically succeeds her, becoming King and ruling over the UK and more than a dozen Commonwealth nations.
A statement from the royal family said the King and the Queen Consort would remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.
Earlier, members of the royal family rushed to her bedside at Balmoral Castle after doctors became concerned for her health.
The Queen, 96, was Britain’s longest-serving monarch, having reigned for 70 years.

King William might be, assuming he succeeds the throne. Charles the 3rd is already 73, which is a farcry from Elizabeth's accession. It's also possible the younger generation might opt to do without the old traditions of the Monarchy like @raklian was saying; countries like Canada might even do such earlier like Barbados did.
The Queen clung onto dear life just long enough to see Boris go. Once that was done, she could die in peace. Not that Truss will be much better, but I guess the Queen must have had some hope. Interesting coincidence that they were both named Elizabeth too.
