Queen Elizabeth II, a towering figure in 20th-century history and the embodiment of British monarchy values, has left an indelible mark on the world.
Her passing, which occurred 25 months ago, marked the conclusion of a significant era for the British Royal Family, an event that will be etched in memory for generations to come.
At the age of 96, the Queen passed away on September 8, 2022.
Recent insights from private documents in the Royal Archives reveal that during her final moments, Elizabeth was reportedly “not in pain” and seemed unaware that her time had come.
In a poignant gesture, she bid farewell to her loved ones by handing over to Charles III a red box containing a sealed letter along with a list of individuals slated to receive the prestigious Order of Merit.
What adds a layer of intimacy to her last days is the revelation that just two days prior to her death, she penned her final thoughts in her diary.
In this entry, Queen Elizabeth II recounted a meeting with Edward Young, noting simply, “Edward came to see me.” Notably, she refrained from elaborating on their conversation or mentioning his departure, leaving a sense of mystery around their exchange.
In the same week, the Queen also met with Liz Truss, who was soon to become the nation’s Prime Minister.
This pivotal meeting took place at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, marking a significant moment as Truss prepared to lead the country, succeeding Boris Johnson.
As the third woman to take the helm at 10 Downing Street, Truss’s appointment symbolized a historic shift in British politics.
The Queen’s final public appearance drew considerable attention, particularly due to a noticeable bruise on her right hand.
