_Revealed_ Queen Elizabeth II's Final Diary Entry Days Before Her Death_
Queen Elizabeth II’s Last Diary Entry Revealed
Queen Elizabeth II’s final diary entry was made two days before her death, according to details unveiled in a new royal biography.
Final Entry
The last notation by Queen Elizabeth II was made on September 6th at Balmoral Castle. It was a simple entry about a meeting with her private secretary, Sir Edward Young. This information is presented in the updated version of Robert Hardman’s book, “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story”.
About the Queen’s Diary
Throughout her 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II maintained a diary, recording the day’s events. The Queen, who passed away at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022, made her final entry just two days before her death.
Her diary entries were not introspective but a record of her daily activities. The aim was not only to help her remember each day’s events but also to serve as a historical archive for future generations.
Diary Writing Traditions
A former royal staffer revealed that Queen Elizabeth II wrote in her diary with a fountain pen using black ink. Each diary was marked with her royal cipher and numbered with Roman numerals. Writing in the diary was the Queen’s last action of the day, regardless of the time or how tired she was.
The King’s Diary
The Queen’s son and successor, King Charles, also keeps a diary. However, unlike his mother, he no longer writes extensive narrative journals as he once did. Instead, he records his recollections and reflections at the end of each day, as revealed in the royal biography.
This insight into the personal habits of the Queen provides a unique glimpse into the life of one of the most influential figures in modern history.
