Two years after the death of the Queen of Great Britain, who left this world on September 8, 2022, it emerged that Elizabeth II suffered from bone cancer. The information was revealed in a memoir by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said the monarch’s illness was kept secret.
Politico reports this.
The publication suggests that this is the first time a British official has apparently mentioned the Queen’s true cause of death, which was listed as “age” in official documents.
According to Johnson, he saw the queen just days before his departure and by that time her condition had deteriorated noticeably, but he remained optimistic.
“She looked paler and stooped, and had dark bruises on her arms, probably from IVs. However, he was in a good mood and in our conversation he continued to shine with his famous smile,” said the politician.
Johnson added that he was aware of the Queen’s illness during the last year of her life. According to him, in her last days Elizabeth II realized that her end was approaching, but she continued to fulfill her duties.
“She understood that she would leave, but she remained determined and persistent,” the former prime minister shared.
