Queen Elizabeth II's final diary entry, made just two days before her death, reflects her dedication to recording events in a factual manner, rather than expressing personal feelings.
Royal biographer Robert Hardman noted, 'It could have been describing another normal working day... 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.'
According to Hardman, the late queen's journal consistently recorded activities, underscoring her methodical approach. Elizabeth famously stated, 'I have no time to record conversations, only events.'
The article highlights the tradition of journaling among the British monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II following a lineage started by her father, King George V, and shared by her predecessor, Queen Victoria.
