Final journals of Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria’s Journal

The final journals of Queen Victoria – part 14, 12th January 1901:

“Had a good night, & could take some breakfast better. – There was a dense fog & no ships could cross. Took an hour’s drive at ½ p. 2 with Lenchen. It was very foggy, but the air was pleasant. – Had some food when I came in & rested. – Afterwards little Leopold played charmingly on the violin, Beatrice accompanying him & then she & Minnie Cochrane played some very nice duets. – Took a “lait de poule”, then signed & dictated to Lenchen. – Harriet read to me after my supper & Lenchen & Beatrice came up afterwards.-“
