The former UK prime minister made the claim in an excerpt from his soon-to-be released memoir, Unleashed seen by British media.
Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson has claimed that Queen Elizabeth II was sick with "bone cancer" in the final years of her life.
He said he was told the queen had "gone down quite a bit over the summer" and then the footman showed her into her majesty's drawing room. "It is unusual for Boris Johnson to speak about the queen’s health but the former British prime minister isn’t the first to talk about it," royal commentator Juliet Rieden explained.
At the time the queen's former spokesperson Dickie Arbiter told British publication Newsweek that he didn't "think anyone knows what it was".On the queen's death certificate her cause of death was listed as 'old age' without any further details. The weekend before she died, it was announced the queen would miss the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering, a popular part of the Highland Games, which she previously attended almost every year.
