The Queen found Leicester's last letter to her so she folded it and wrote on it "His Last Letter". History records that following her death the letter was found in her desk. After she locked the letter away Robert of Essex entered the room and the Queen asked if he knew.

The Queen: "Did you know that The Earl of Leicester is dead?"
Essex: "Aye, so I've told by my mother, his wife."

She threw an object at him, catching him off guard and he slipped and fell at the door before gathering himself up and leaving. The Queen then locked and collapsed at the door in tears. History also records that in fear for her life after two or three days her staff broke the door down.
