While Queen Elizabeth II’s cause of death, which dates back to last September, has been attributed to old age, a soon-to-be-published biographical book points to an entirely different reason, the New York Post reported.
According to ‘Elizabeth: An Intimate Portait’, written by politician and author Gyles Brandreth, the late British monarch died of bone marrow cancer.
In the months leading up to her death, there were many rumors that the Queen was suffering from an illness.
“I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma – a cancer of the bone marrow – which would explain her fatigue, weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told regarding during the last year of his life,” Brandreth writes in his book.
“The most common symptom of myeloma is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and lower back, and multiple myeloma is a disease that often affects older people,” reads an excerpt published by the Daily. Mail.
