- 12:00 p.m.: Prime Minister Liz Truss and Deputy Leader of the Opposition Angela Rayner were informed of the Queen's ill health by notes circulated during a speech in Parliament by Leader of the Opposition Keir Starmer.[3][4]
- 12:30 p.m.: Buckingham Palace publicly announced that the Queen was "under medical supervision" at Balmoral Castle after doctors expressed concern over her health. The statement read:[5][6]
Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.
Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle made a brief statement of good wishes in Parliament in response.[3]
- 12:40 p.m.: The BBC, the national broadcaster of the United Kingdom, cut away from regular programming on BBC One to continuously cover the Queen's condition, with all BBC news journalists and broadcasters dressed in black later in the afternoon.[7] Special reports about her condition were run on other main television channels in the UK, including ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5.[8]
- 2:30 p.m.: A flight carrying Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex left RAF Northolt for Aberdeen Airport.
- 12:30 – 4:30 p.m: The Queen dies.[9]
- 4:30 p.m.: Cabinet secretary Simon Case informed Prime Minister Truss of the Queen's death at around this time.[10][11] Thirty minutes later, Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex arrived at Balmoral.[10]
- 6:30 p.m: The Queen's death is officially announced. The royal family announced her death on Twitter.[12][13][14] British television announcements of the Queen's death came shortly after, and included a statement made by the royal family being read verbatim by news presenter Huw Edwards during a live broadcast across all BBC television channels (bar BBC Three and Four, which were not broadcasting at the time, and subsequently had programmes suspended following the announcement of the death;[15] and children's channels CBBC, which announced the news through their programme Newsround,[16] and CBeebies, which saw no interruptions to its regular schedule[17]), after which the national anthem was played.[18] The Union flags at Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street, and Balmoral Castle were lowered to half-mast.[19][20][21] Because the new monarch was already at Balmoral Castle when he became King, the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom was lowered and raised again at the castle following his mother's death. The Royal Banner of Scotland was also lowered to half-mast at the Palace of Holyroodhouse,[20] while the Welsh flag at Cardiff Castle was lowered as well.[22]
