Queen Elizabeth worried dying at her beloved home in Scotland would make things difficult for those preparing for her death, Princess Anne says in a new documentary airing on BBC this month.

According to the Daily Telegraph , in the BBC documentary Charles III: The Coronation Year, which is set to air on Dec. 26, the queens daughter says the royal family had to persuade the monarch to stay at Balmoral, the royal residence in Scotland, in her final days.

We spent a lot of time there in our youth and a lot of it was probably a more independent life than anywhere else, Anne says in an interview in the documentary, according to the Telegraph. I think there was a moment when she felt it would be more difficult if she died at Balmoral. I think we did try to persuade her that that shouldnt be part of the decision-making process. So I hope she felt that was right in the end, because we did.

Queen Elizabeth died on Sep. 8, 2022, at age 96, making her the worlds second-longest-reigning monarch. After a period of public mourning, Elizabeths funeral was held in London 11 days later.
