Queen Elizabeth II died of painful bone cancer, new book claims
Queen Elizabeth II spent her final years secretly suffering through painful cancer, according to a new biography of the late British monarch.
The Queen, who died in September after more than 70 years on the throne, worked through the agony of bone marrow cancer — the most common symptom of which is bone pain, according to “Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait,” an upcoming biography written by author and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth.
In the months leading up to her death at the age of 96, there was widespread speculation that the Queen was dealing with an illness. Her death certificate officially listed her cause of death as “old age.”

She would not have been smiling like she was at the horse races over the last year or have been able to greet the prime minister du jour like she did a couple of days before she died if she had late stage bone cancer.

"The author went into detail about the Queen's condition being the less painful of two types of bone cancers, and claimed people should be "grateful" that her death was "relatively painless."
In the video, that has been watched more than 230,000 times, Campbell claimed that the Queen died at 2.37pm on Thursday having been “suffering from a serious and invariably fatal condition of the bones".
Campbell said she did not want to get into specifics, saying: “I don’t want to use the word that accurately conveys the medical diagnosis, out of deference to Her Majesty’s dignity and privacy."
She added: “If she wants to reveal that word, or her advisors wish to reveal it, that is up to them. I don’t think one needs to use the word to get across the point that I think most people will be able to pick up, that this is a really serious situation.
“The condition has been induced, in part, according to people who know her well, has been created by the tremendous stress to which she has been subjected over the last three years."

Lady C knew what was going on. And she called it.
The bloody royals with their secrecy such as not revealing the real cause of death on a death certificate.
It's distasteful to suffer pain and to die of cancer. Harrumph.

That professor who hoped the Queen died in agony must be pleased. Can't recall her name, but she was a black woman. Terrible person to wish agony on someone when you hear about her death. Callous. Damn her.

This comes from Lady Colin Campbell, probably, and I still contend that if the Queen had bone cancer, she would not have been doing so well in the public appearances she did make, and she wouldn't have been losing weight at a slow rate like she was. She would have been in excruciating pain, and if on enough painkillers to make it through, acting oddly. She never was.

R21 is right, though, that to be on the amount of opiods you'd need for end-stage bone cancer, you might not be in pain but you would probably be too zonked for public appearances. It's possible that this was the case for the many appearances she cancelled last-minute in the last six months before she died, and that she only appeared on "good" days when the level of background medication, to which she was habituated, was enough.
R22 is also right, that whatever killed her the doctors would have spared no effort to alleviate pain. They tend not to worry about you developing a fentanyl addiction when you're 92.

She might not have died of bone cancer; she may have died with bone cancer. The immediate cause of death was clearly something unexpected, for example a head injury from a fall, a stroke, or a heart attack. She may not have been end stage yet plus Lady Colin said the Queen had “the less painful of the two types”. So perhaps the pain wasn’t so excruciating by the time she died that she would need to be constantly heavily drugged.

Taking the Monarch out is not unheard of, as we know was the case with George V. In the Queens case though, it may have been nefarious forces working for Camilla, who couldn't wait any longer to be Queen.

I wonder what killed her. She seemed fine a year ago but visibly faded away in the last 12 months. She lost a lot of weight and was kind of "shrinking".

^I don't think it was cancer. She would have been on heavy pain medication if she really had terminal cancer. Patients with terminal cancer are usually not able to get out of bed and greet the prime minister or record sketches. Her death also appeared to be sudden and unexpected.

People with cancer get up and move around all the time. People in the END STAGES of cancer are the ones incapable of doing so.
Clearly the Queen had cancer that was being managed adequately well enough for her to host guests the weekend before.
My guess is that she fell or had a stroke, and that the cancer made that event into a fatal one.

Right up almost to the die she died, she was able to (mostly) stand on her own, leaning on a cane. For anyone with an aging parent, being able to stand on your own - never mind for any period of time - is no easy feat. She didn't even have a walker nearby to grab onto if she felt unsteady.
