Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says in his memoir that he 'had known for a year or more' that Queen Elizabeth II had bone cancer.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson claims in his soon-to-be released memoir that Queen Elizabeth II was diagnosed with bone cancer before her death in September 2022 at the age of 96. His assertion represents a significant break with royal protocol between the prime minister's office and Buckingham Palace , under which the U.K.'s elected leaders generally keep the royal family's private matter to themselves.
prime minister between 2019 and 2022, met with Elizabeth just days before she died at her Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, to hand her his formal resignation as the country's leader. Buckingham Palace declined to comment when asked by CBS News about Johnson's claim. The palace typically does not comment on claims about the private lives of royal family members in books or print. While Johnson's remarks break with the long-time tradition of U.K.
