Final diary entry of Queen Elizabeth has been revealed

The final diary entry of Queen Elizabeth has been revealed, written two days before her death.

Britain’s longest reigning monarch, who died on September 8, 2022, wrote her final entry on September 6, as published in Robert Hardman’s biography on King Charles, Charles III: New King, New Court.

Part of the biography dives into the final few days of the late monarch’s life.

Elizabeth was known to keep a diary in the later years of her life, recounting key moments and interactions.

She wrote of her private secretary, Sir Eward Young, who travelled to Balmoral to visit her. Elizabeth also swore in new Privy Council members.

“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’s biography reads, per an excerpt in The Telegraph.

The biographer observed “she was still writing it at Balmoral two days before her death”.

Elizabeth’s final engagement was with Liz Truss, asking the politician to form a government following the resignation of former British prime minister Boris Johnson.

Biographer Hardman got his hands on the handwritten documents, penned at Balmoral Castle, while doing research for the book.

“It is unsurprising that the monarch was diligent in her documentation, even as illness made her increasingly frail,” Tatler reported.

In 2019 a member of the royal household spoke with British publication The Sun about the late Queen’s writing habits.

He said she wrote using a fountain pen using black ink in a leatherbound book and every entry included her royal cypher and was numbered with roman numerals.

Writing in her diary was the late Queen’s final act of the day, writing “no matter how late the hour or how weary she may be”.

“It is an unmissable duty, and she writes at a desk, never in bed,” the source said.

King Charles also picked up on his mother’s diary habits, according to Hardman’s memoir.

“He doesn’t write great narrative diaries like he used to,” a senior courtier told Hardman.

The biographer was told Charles “scribbles down his recollections and reflections” at the end of his day.
