The editor of the 'Third Series', which covers the years from 1886 to 1901, was George Earle Buckle (1854–1935), a historian and former editor of The Times, who continued the editorial policy of his predecessors, but who needed to tread carefully, as many of the people mentioned in documents of the final part of Queen Victoria's reign were still alive when Volumes 7–9 were published between 1930 and 1932. Volume 7 covers the period 1886–90, which was dominated by Gladstone's 'new departure in Irish policy'. Other topics include the Golden Jubilee of 1887 and the tragic early death of Victoria's son-in-law, Emperor Frederick III of Germany, in 1888.
