Queen Elizabeth II’s death was completely tragic for the Royal Family and the royal followers as well. The beloved queen had a record-breaking 70-year reign and also had one of the diaries with the most entries among the royal members of the family.
Robert Hardman, a royal biographer, discovered Queen Elizabeth II’s handwriting while researching updated chapters for his book about King Charles III. Hardman revealed that the late monarch’s final entry was made at Balmoral, where she died on September 8, after meeting Prime Minister Liz Truss.
“It transpires that she was still writing it at Balmoral two days before her death. Her last entry was as factual and practical as ever. It could have been describing another normal working day starting in the usual way — ‘Edward came to see me’ — as she noted the arrangements which her private secretary, Sir Edward Young, had made for the swearing-in of the new ministers of the Truss administration.”
Hardman also stated that Queen Elizabeth II’s journal recorded her activities, rather than her thoughts and feelings. This tradition is no odd to other members of the Royal Family, as King George V and Queen Victoria used to write diaries to document their activities and lives.
