Boris Johnson Shocks the Nation: Claims Queen Elizabeth II Battled Bone Cancer Before Her Death!

In a surprising revelation, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has breached longstanding royal protocol by asserting in his soon-to-be-released memoir that Queen Elizabeth II battled bone cancer in the lead-up to her death. The memoir, titled "The Old Order Changeth," is set to be published on October 10, and has sparked outrage and intrigue as excerpts are serialized in the Daily Mail, a publication for which Johnson also serves as a columnist.

Johnson, who stepped down as Prime Minister just two days before the Queen’s passing in September 2022, reflected on the monarch's final days spent at Balmoral, Scotland. "I had known for a year or more that she had a form of bone cancer, and her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline," Johnson reveals, marking the first public indication from a senior official regarding the Queen's health. Her death certificate lists the cause as "old age," leaving many questions unanswered.

This revelation is not merely a personal sentiment; it represents a significant departure from the usual discretion surrounding royal health issues. Johnson’s account has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising his honesty while others caution against the breach of royal privacy. Buckingham Palace, consistent with its policy, has not confirmed nor refuted Johnson's claims.

In poignant detail, Johnson recounts the last time he met the Queen during his resignation visit. He reminisces about the experience, describing how her physical condition had visibly declined over the summer months. "She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections,” he wrote, painting a vivid picture of the monarch's state.

Yet amid her physical ailments, Johnson noted that her mental faculties remained intact, stating, “Her mind – as her private secretary Edward had also said – was completely unimpaired by her illness. From time to time in our conversation, she still flashed that great white smile in its sudden mood-lifting beauty.” Such moments of levity affirmed the Queen's enduring spirit, even in the shadow of her illness.

Reflecting on his weekly audiences with the Queen, Johnson described them as “a privilege” and “a balm.” The deep loyalty he felt towards her was palpable, as he expressed: “You need someone kind and wise, and above politics, to personify what is good about our country. She did that job brilliantly.”

Unlike King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales, who have shared their own cancer experiences in a bid to raise awareness, Queen Elizabeth II famously kept her health details private. Her aides have consistently emphasized the royal family's entitlement to medical privacy.

This memoir is set to ignite discussions not only about the Queen's legacy but also the ongoing responsibilities and expectations of the monarchy in British society and the delicate line between privacy and public interest. As the date of publication approaches, the nation remains abuzz with curiosity and speculation about the further revelations that may lie within Johnson's narrative. Stay tuned!
