Reactions online ranged from serious to amused. One user said: “It’s really weird actually reading the Queen’s death certificate. It’s so stark and informative only. Like NAME: Elizabeth, OCCUPATION: Queen… just strange.” Others joked: “If my occupation doesn’t have the word ‘Queen’ in it on my death cert I’ll haunt you all” and “Occupation: Just being me, babes.”

This week, September 8, marked three years since Queen Elizabeth’s passing, and members of the royal family marked the anniversary in different ways.

Prince Harry, in the UK for a charity event, made a private visit to her tomb at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, laying a wreath and flowers in tribute. Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended an event with the National Federation of Women’s Institutes (WI), recognizing the late Queen’s decades-long connection with the organization.

Speaking with members, William said: “It’s three years since my grandmother died, she was a big part of the WI, she used to talk about it a lot. This is the first time I’ve been, and experienced the WI, so this is a huge honour for me.”

He reflected on her love of horses and breeding, joking: “I think she would have liked a few more winners.” He also revealed that the Queen once had “an old iPad” she used to watch her foals being born via a remote camera at Sandringham.

Three years on, the late Queen’s memory continues to inspire tributes — and, it seems, surprise people with details of her life that had long gone unnoticed.
