The touching last picture of Queen Elizabeth II shows that she continued to serve her country right up until the end.

Her Majesty "died peacefully" on Thursday in Scotland at the age of 96, just 48 hours after making Liz Truss the new Prime Minister of Britain in public.

The conservative politician was asked by the queen to come to Balmoral Castle on Tuesday to take part in an old swearing-in ceremony called "kissing of hands."

During her 70-year reign, Elizabeth II chose 13 British Prime Ministers. These historic events usually took place at Buckingham Palace in London.

But because she had "mobility issues," the queen couldn't get from Scotland back to London. Instead, Truss flew north to meet with the queen.

The photos from their meeting were the last ones ever taken of the queen, and they show her doing her job even though she looks weak and in a lot of pain.

Looking like any other elderly grandmother, Elizabeth II walked with a cane and clutched her trusty black handbag.

Two days before she died, the queen smiled while wearing a plaid skirt, a gray cardigan, and a light blue button-down.

The queen had a dark blue bruise on her right hand, which caught the attention of people who watch the royal family.

One Twitter user shared a picture of the queen and Boris Johnson at her last swearing-in ceremony in 2019 to show how much she has changed in three years.

Since October of last year, when she was seen using a cane for the first time since 2004, the queen's health has been in the news. At the time, someone close to her said that the help was for her "comfort."

Later that month, Her Majesty was taken to the hospital and had to cancel a trip to Ireland before she could get back to her royal duties.

In May, a statement from Buckingham Palace said that the queen would "reluctantly" skip a royal event because of "mobility problems." The palace said that the decision was made "in consultation with her doctors."

In June, the queen didn't go to Royal Ascot for the first time since she became queen 70 years ago.

She also didn't go to events during the huge Platinum Jubilee celebrations because she was "uncomfortable."

The beloved monarch died Thursday night, British time, just hours after Buckingham Palace said that doctors were "worried about Her Majesty's health."

Charles, the queen's oldest son and heir, who is now King Charles III, made a statement about his mother's death after the news came out.

The 76-year-old said, "The death of my beloved mother, Her Majesty, The Queen, is a time of great sadness for me and all of my family."

"We are very sad about the death of a much-loved Sovereign and Mother. I'm sure that her death will be very sad for everyone in the country, the Realms, and the Commonwealth, as well as for many people all over the world.
