From the age of 13 until her death in 1901 at the age of 81, Queen Victoria reportedly wrote more than 60 million words in her diaries.
King George V, Elizabeth’s father, also maintained a notebook in which he recorded personal information, such as his feelings on June 22, 1911, the day of his coronation.
The 75-year-old King has apparently maintained his own practical journals since ascending to the throne, following in his mother’s ways.
While “[King Charles] doesn’t write great narrative diaries like he used to,” he “scribbles down his recollections and reflections” on the day, a senior courtier told The Telegraph.
