To be officially confirmed, but sources briefed by the Private Secretary’s Office at Mulgrave Palace said that Queen Emmeline was one of at least six people on the flight. The extent of injuries sustained or of survivors is not currently known.
The crash occurred following a public engagement at the Engellexian Embassy, with the Queen and her entourage leaving by helicopter to meet the Nonestican Governor-General at an official residence on the western outskirts of Elephaney. The Engellexian Army helicopter crashed shortly within the same grounds of the embassy in which it had taken off.
Eyewitness reports indicated that the helicopter had only just taken off, stayed in the air briefly and nosedived, rather than pursue flight course, down to earth. Nonestican emergency services rushed to the scene at the embassy to tackle the fire and provide emergency medical response. Despite the wreckage and fire, security service personnel had been swift and courageous in rescuing Queen Emmeline and other passengers. Elephaney Police eventually secured a cordoned area around the embassy and grounds.

Statement from Foreign Secretary Spencer Canning-Howe
Sir Spencer Canning-Howe, the Foreign Secretary, has described the government and country as hamstrung by the devastating news of the helicopter accident involving the Queen.
Speaking to the House of Commons, the Foreign Secretary confirmed this morning, at ten-twenty-seven Dulwich Mean Time, the country - indeed, the Thaumantic, sustained the shock of her Majesty the Queen’s unthinkable accident in Nonestica. Under such circumstances, without hinderance of extraneous considerations, the Engellexian Government has been induced, in unison with the Nonestican Government, to pursue a peculiar set of protocols to confront the unhappy and serious sequence of events.
Now some persons may think that a respectful, delicate reference to her Majesty’s duties and public service immediately before the incident should prove appropriate, yet I shall defer to the Prime Minister’s statement to the House later.
The administration of the Foreign Office, at the outset, has been timely and indefatigable. Specialist teams from the Air Accident Investigations Branch do proceed, now, across the Thaumantic, and joined by counterparts and assisting expertise from the Ministry of Defence and the Metropolitan Constabulary.
I can allude to the House that, together with the Nonestican Government, we are studiously evaluating every constitutional consideration in respect of the Queen’s admission to an undisclosed hospital in Elephaney. Those considerations do too pertain to Prince Richard, the Duke of Mamestrafford, who remains by the Queen’s side. It is my understanding, as presented to me, that the Duke of Mamestrafford was not a passenger of the helicopter, or indeed in attendance at the particular event.
Security matters, regrettably and understandably, are not for the concern of the House at this time.

PM Margaret Clarke updates reporters on the details of the helicopter incident, on the condition of the Queen and passengers at a press conference.
I can confirm two people have now died from the incident at the Engellexian Embassy in Elephaney. The Pilot in Command and the Co-Pilot of the The Queen’s Helicopter Flight have tragically lost their lives from the injuries they sustained; their family are being informed and supported. Nine people are being treated for injuries in an undisclosed hospital in Elephaney. Those names I can now publicly share; her Majesty the Queen Emmeline; Lady Caroline Lennox, Duchess of Sheanes; Sir Charles Abernathy; Edward Manners-Soxby; PPOs - Sally Masters, Harold Cray and Jacob Starke; Sir Cloudesley Stamford; Lady Cora Siddon.
Three of those injured are in critical condition. Careful and urgent arrangements are being made to transport her Majesty the Queen and Sir Charles Abernathy to a specialist emergency medical facility in Nonestica.
There is no suggestion of this being a deliberate and hostile act. The Nonestican Government will be welcoming and supporting investigative leadership and intelligence from Great Engellex.
