Blue hands but a wide smile: what Queen Elizabeth II looked in her last days and where she was buried. Photo

What Elizabeth II looked like before her death

Exactly two years ago, the world was shocked by the terrible news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The 96-year-old monarch passed away on September 8, 2022, due to deteriorating health. In her last moments, the royal was surrounded by her closest and dearest people.

Shortly before her death, the British crown princess managed to meet with the then Prime Minister Liz Truss. Elizabeth II received the politician not at Buckingham Palace, as usual, but at the royal castle in Balmoral, where she passed away later that day.

In the photos from the meeting with Truss, the subjects saw a huge purple bruise on the monarch's arm. This caused concern among British citizens, who later learned that the Queen was no longer alive.
