Queen Elizabeth II was one of the great figures of the 20th century. She was a person who perfectly embodied the values of the British monarchy and brought international respect after many decades of rule on the islands. Her loss, 25 months ago, was the end of an era that will always be remembered in the Royal House of Great Britain.
At the age of 96, she passed away on September 8, 2022. According to private documents from the Royal Archives, Elizabeth “was not in pain” and was not even “aware that she was going”. However, she said goodbye to her inner circle by handing Charles III a red box containing a sealed letter and a list of the next candidates to receive the Order of Merit.
What’s new about the monarch’s last few days is that, two days earlier, she wrote her last lines in her diary. Queen Elizabeth II noted that she met in her private study with Edward Young: “Edward came to see me”. With no mention of the conversation with him, she also left no written reference to his departure.
