She was 96 years old and was just making a public appearance on Tuesday with the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss. She reportedly died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle. The new King Charles and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, will remain at Balmoral today before returning to London tomorrow. The United Kingdom will mourn the monarch's death for the next 10 days.
