As we’ve been reporting, the late Queen was laid to rest next to her husband, Prince Philip, who passed away in April 2021. Her final resting place makes perfect sense, of course. And according to at least one royal expert, it’s an important part of the closure that comes after her death.
Speaking to ET on Monday, royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed her belief that the Queen “died of a broken heart” after grieving her longtime husband’s death since last spring.
Nicholl also explained her belief that the Queen “was never the same” after Philip’s death last year. Thus, when her time came, King Charles III‘s mother was granted the consolation of returning to her beloved’s side for the rest of eternity:
Such a moving thought.

Nicholl said the Queen’s wish was to make her “final journey” into the afterlife with her beloved late husband by her side:

The Queen’s official cause of death has not yet been released. Of course, the world knows the Queen did not technically die of a broken heart. However, it’s not at all uncommon for elderly couples to follow one another shortly
