In a new documentary, Princess Anne shares that Queen Elizabeth II was concerned about dying in Scotland as it would make arranging her funeral "more difficult". The queen died aged 96 at her remote Scottish Highland retreat at Balmoral on 8 September 2022. The BBC documentary Charles III: The Coronation Year gives an intimate look into the months leading up to King Charles' accession to the throne. Queen Elizabeth II was persuaded to step back from making decisions about her own funeral after mentioning that it would be "more difficult" if she died in Scotland, her daughter told a forthcoming documentary. Multiple plans were in place if the queen died at any one of her main royal residences, from Sandringham in eastern England, to Windsor Castle, west of London, and even overseas.
