Queen Elizabeth’s Last Words Revealed in Final Diary Entry Days Before Death

The royal family typically keeps diary entries to document their day-to-day activities. However, in September 2022, Queen Elizabeth would pen her last entry into this book days before her death. She wrapped her legacy in six words.

Robert Hardman, author of Charles III: New King, New Court, The Inside Story found that Queen Elizabeth’s final words reflected her practicality. The Telegraph reprinted an excerpt from his book detailing the monarch’s final diary entry.

It transpires that she was still writing it at Balmoral two days before her death,” Hardman explained. “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 {Lis] Truss’s administration.”

Appointing Britain’s shortest ruling prime minister from Balmoral was Elizabeth’s final public engagement before her death on Sept. 8. 2022. Writing in her diary was the last thing she did at night before bed.
