Doctors were concerned for the Queen's health and she was under medical supervision.
Elizabeth became the world's longest reigning monarch after the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand in 2016 and has seen 15 UK prime ministers.
She was the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.
The death of the Queen is expected to cause a huge cultural, social, and political shift in Britain and the Commonwealth countries.
Here's what's happening now from cultural changes to small disruptions.
The succession of the Queen has been planned for a while.
The Queen's funeral is one of the events that will lead to the new monarch's accession to the throne.
The prime minister will be told of the queen's death by civil servants on a secure line. "hyde park corner" was the code word for the death of King George VI.
The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, will become king at the time of the Queen's passing since authority passes on accession.

As a result of Queen's passing, Charles became the monarch as there was no one else left on the throne. In her Accession Day speech in February of 2022, the Queen said that she wanted her husband to be known as Queen Consort.
Charles was always impatient to become King. He joked about being patient in a series of comments in 2012. What do you think about me? It's a thing to suggest. He said that he is. I won't have time soon. If I'm not careful, I'll snuff it.
The Accession Council will meet in London to proclaim the monarch's successor.

The first act of the new monarch will be to swear loyalty to Parliament. Theclamation of accession will be made by the council. The most recent was made after King George VI died.
Whereas it hath pleased Almighty God to call to His mercy our late sovereign lord King George the Sixth of blessed and glorious memory by whose decease the Crown is solely and rightfully come to the High and Mighty Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary: we therefore the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm being here assisted with these his late Majesty's Privy Council with representatives of other members of the Commonwealth with other Principal Gentlemen of quality with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of London do now hereby with one Voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart publish and proclaim that the High and Mighty Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary is now by the death of our late sovereign of happy memory become Queen Elizabeth the Second by the grace of God. Queen of this realm and of her other realms and territories, head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the faith to whom her lieges do acknowledge all Faith and constant Obedience with hearty and humble Affection beseeching God by whom Kings and Queens do reign, to bless the Royal Princess Elizabeth the second with long and happy years to reign over us. God save the Queen.
The Accession Council's declaration is read from the balcony of St. James' Palace by the College of Arms. In the presence of the mayor, the heralds travel around London and read the declaration in various places.
It's not certain that Charles will become king. The Royal Prerogative makes it possible for royals to pick whatever name they want.
The regnal name has always been the monarch's first name or one of their middle names in the past.
It's possible that Charles doesn't want to be known as a Christian. The first King Charles was executed for treason after the English civil war, the second spent nine years in exile and the third called himself Charles III because he was trying to dethrone King George II. He has a full name of Charles Philip Arthur George.
It has been speculated that Charles might be the next king. He will ascend to the throne. Harris made a statement.
The public will be able to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II by viewing her corpse in state.
The Queen's funeral will take place at the abbey.
The raised platform in the middle of the Hall is where the coffin rests during the lying in state period. The platform is guarded around the clock by units from the Sovereign's Bodyguard, Foot Guards or the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.

The Queen Mother was remembered by more than 200,000 people. Queen Elizabeth II's lying-in-state may overshadow the grief surrounding her.
There will be 10 days of national mourning after the death of the Queen.
The queen will be buried in Windsor.
The Queen's parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, are buried in Windsor Castle's St. George's Chapel.
The death of the Queen is a concern for many countries. The list of entities and countries that swear loyalty to the crown is lengthy.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, and other Commonwealth countries are headed by the Queen. The future King will not have the same post.
The executive council of the federal government in Australia and New Zealand meet in Wellington.
The position of Head of the Commonwealth must be chosen by the Commonwealth heads of government.
There is a chance that the Commonwealth will cease to exist after the mourning period and the Union Jack will be at half mast.
The Commonwealth consists of 54 countries, including Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Pacific. Many of the countries may choose to become a Republic with their own head of state, because they feel a strong connection to the Queen.
On the day of the funeral, the stock exchange will be closed.
The event will be covered by the British Broadcasting Corporation. George VI's death halted all comedy for a period.
Regular programming was suspended for two days after George VI's death.
There will be a statutory holiday in the UK and the same can be done in the Commonwealth.
Although not the Royal Standard, the Union Jack flag will be flown at half mast until after the funeral in the UK and overseas. It would make sense for the Royal Standard to fly at half-mast.
There will be a new currency soon.
The police and military will get new gear.
