Queen Elizabeth’s final diary entry written two days before death revealed

Queen Elizabeth IIs final diary entry, written just two days before her death, has been revealed and it contains only five words. During her record-breaking 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth, who died in Sept. 2022 at age 96, kept a private diary to jot down key events in her life throughout the years. She carried that tradition through to her final days. Royal biographer Robert Hardman discovered Her Late Majestys handwritten entries while researching updated chapters for his book about King Charles. According to the author, the late monarchs final entry was made at Balmoral, where she died on Sept. 8, two days after meeting Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was new to the role at the time. In her diary, she recorded that her private secretary, Edward Young, had come to see her. She also wrote down some highlights about swearing in new Privy Council members. “Edward came to see me,” the last diary entry reads. It transpires that she was still writing it at Balmoral two days before her de@th, Hardman wrote. 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, he added.The post Queen Elizabeth’s final diary entry written two days before death revealed appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
