Queen Elizabeth<\/a> II was so frail in her final days she found it difficult even lifting a teapot, according to a royal biographer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The death of Her Late Majesty at the age of 96 in September 2022 sparked an outpouring of grief in the UK and tributes from around the world.<\/p>\n

But in the preceding months she is said to have begun to feel increasingly isolated in the wake of beloved husband Prince Philip<\/a>\u2019s death, as well as the passing of other very close friends.<\/p>\n

The Queen reportedly took to inviting old members of household staff into her private apartments to reminisce about good times in the past.<\/p>\n

In his new book \u2018Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography\u2019, Robert Jobson recounts a heart-breaking revelation from one former staff member.<\/p>\n

\u2018She told me she didn’t know anybody [her staff and servants] anymore,\u2019 he writes.<\/p>\n

Regular visits and phone calls from her grandson Prince William were said to be her highlights, the Daily Mail<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

He and wife Kate moved to the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate to be close to his grandmother in her final months.<\/p>\n

Quoting one aide, Jobson writes: \u2018He knew his time with his grandmother was precious and he is delighted they, as a couple, made that decision.\u2019<\/p>\n

The royal biographer also describes how the Queen\u2019s final appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony \u2013 when she thrilled the thousands gathered outside for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations \u2013 took a great deal of courage as she was in constant pain throughout.<\/p>\n
