From 1st August 1832, Queen Victoria began writing her famous journal, a habit that she continued daily until just before her death almost 69 years later. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing her final fifteen journal entries leading up to her death. These entries will date from 30th December 1900 to the last one on 13th January 1901.

Queen Victoria’s journal:
“Did not have a good night, though I usually sleep a little at first. – Got up too late to go out in the morning, so only took a drive after 3 with Lenchen & Beatrice. – I managed to sign a few things, & Harriet P. read to me. – In the evening I saw the Bishop of Ripon, who was very kind. Afterwards dictated to Thora, & then I sway Southampton, who has kindly came read to me, & I feel asleep. – Arthur & Louischen came to me for a little while after dinner.”
