Queen Elizabeth II’s Final Diary Entry, Written Two Days Before Her Death, Revealed.
Only five words make up Queen Elizabeth II’s last journal entry, which was written just two days before she passed away.
Only five words make up Queen Elizabeth, who passed away in September 2022 at the age of 96, maintained a private journal during her historic 70-year reign to document significant occasions in her life. She continued that custom throughout her last days.
While looking through revised chapters for his book about King Charles, royal biographer Robert Hardman came across Her Late Majesty’s handwritten entries.
The author claims that the late monarch’s last visit was to Balmoral, where she passed away on September 8, two days after seeing then-new Prime Minister Liz Truss. She noted in her notebook that Edward Young, her private secretary, had visited her.
Additionally, she jotted down some highlights on the swearing-in of new members of the Privy Council.
“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.
