Queen Elizabeth II's final diary entry, written two days before her death at Balmoral, has been revealed by royal biographer Robert Hardman. The entry, which was factual and practical, noted her meeting with her private secretary and the swearing-in of new ministers. The late queen, who maintained a diary throughout her 70-year reign, focused on recording events rather than personal reflections. Her son, King Charles, continues the tradition of diary-keeping, albeit in a less narrative style.
