On July 2, according to the "New Zealand Herald", "The Sun" and other media reports, British actors recently broke the news that Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has a secret diary, recording her whereabouts since the age of 15, family news, her views on the people she met and so on.
Actor Michael Palin, 76, broke the news that he learned of the news from an official dinner at Windsor Castle last month. Palin said he was sitting next to the Queen, who was telling how he kept his diary. To his surprise, the Queen said she also had a private diary and that every night she would spend 15 minutes writing down her thoughts before going to bed.
The Queen says journaling is actually a headache, "I usually write for about 15 minutes before my head hits the table. Then the queen imitated the movement of her head hitting the table, "as if dozing off."
The Queen of England writes every day with a black pen, and at the end of a page, she will cover it with an ink blotting paper to suck away excess ink. The Queen will specifically order the staff around her to destroy the blotting paper to ensure that her privacy is not leaked and that only Prince Philip can view its contents.
Every night, when the Queen of England began to write her diary, the staff would be instructed not to bother her unless there was something earth-shattering, such as nuclear war.
Palin said, "No matter where she lives, Windsor, Sandringham or Balmoral Castle." The Queen's diaries were carried with her in a black suitcase. Two keys were needed to open the chest, one for the Queen herself, and the spare one for her private secretary to keep as an emergency reserve. ”
The insider went on to reveal, "Her diary was never lost, probably because it was almost as precious to her as the jewels in her crown." If the diary had been lost by some unfortunate maid, he might have been imprisoned in the Tower of London! ”
According to media reports, the Queen may have witnessed King George VI and Queen Victoria write daily diaries, continuing the royal tradition and also began to keep diaries. It is reported that these diaries are written in ciphers.
When the British media wanted to confirm whether the queen really had the habit of keeping a daily diary, a royal spokesman said buckingham Palace did not respond to this.
