I've seen claims that she had bone cancer.
If correct, this would explain her mobility problems.

As soon as the broadcasters went into 'Obit mode' I knew that she had passed. , even though they were still talking about her bring very ill.
This was said to have been done to 'ready the nation' for the announcement. I also think it might have been done out of courtesy before all her family were informed or had arrived at her bedside.
The way that the 'In poor health' announcement was phrased is also said to have been a coded message to the BBC who will have been the first broadcaster to have been notified.

It's just idle curiosity as to how it all works really, though this could be important to ex service people who no longer supported the royal family in whole or in part.
I'm not sure if anything could/would be done to those who fail to maintain their allegiance after leaving the forces though.
