Doctors have previously raised concerns about Queen Elizabeth II's health and recommended medical supervision of the 96-year-old monarch.

All of the Queen's children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, rushed to Balmoral Castle to be by her side. Her two grandchildren, Prince William and Prince Harry, were also present.

Prince Charles, 73, who has been heir to the throne since the age of three, will become King Charles III, and will be formally proclaimed at St James's Palace in London as soon as possible.

In King Charles III's first statement, it read: "The passing of my beloved mother, the Queen, is a source of great sorrow to me and to the members of my family. We deeply mourn the passing of our beloved head of state.

I know her passing is a great loss to the Kingdom and the Commonwealth and to many people around the world."

Britain is expected to hold a 10-day national mourning period to remember the Queen.

The Queen's last media appearance was a meeting with new Prime Minister Liz Truss on September 6./.
