The late Queen Elizabeth II was notorious for being prim and proper about…well, virtually everything. She was so tightlipped, in fact, that the public never even knew when she had a health scare.
But that all changed when the late Queen passed away in 2022 – and the world suddenly learned that she had died of cancer.
Now, a former Prime Minister has revealed that the Royal Family was furious about the leaks.
At a glance:
- The royal family is reportedly “livid” after Boris Johnson revealed details about Queen Elizabeth II’s health in his memoir.
- Johnson disclosed that the late queen had been suffering from bone cancer, contradicting the official cause of death listed as “old age.”
- While the royal family is upset, they are unlikely to publicly reprimand Johnson.
The British royal family is reportedly furious after former Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed sensitive details regarding Queen Elizabeth II’s health leading up to her death. In his newly released memoir, Johnson discloses that the late queen had been battling bone cancer, a condition he claims to have known about for over a year. This revelation, which contradicts the official cause of death cited as “old age” on her death certificate, has caused significant distress within the royal household.
According to Johnson, Queen Elizabeth appeared frail during their last meeting, with visible bruising on her hands and wrists, possibly from medical treatments. This disclosure of private health information has broken royal protocol, as the royal family typically keeps such matters highly confidential.
Sources close to the royals told In Touch that the family is “livid” about Johnson’s decision to share these “graphic and sensitive” details. They find it upsetting that Johnson would publicly disclose such intimate information about the queen’s health. Despite their frustration, the family is not expected to address the matter publicly, preferring to handle it behind closed doors.
Johnson’s memoir, which has already stirred controversy, is set to release on October 10, and the revelation about Queen Elizabeth’s illness is likely to fuel further public interest and debate. The incident highlights the tension between public figures and the royal family when it comes to respecting privacy, even after the death of such a high-profile figure as Queen Elizabeth II.
