Royal Family reacts strongly after Boris Johnson reveals late Queen's cancer diagnosis in memoir
The Royal Family is reportedly outraged after former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed private medical details about the late Queen Elizabeth II in his newly-released memoir. The Palace, known for maintaining strict confidentiality, is "livid" that Johnson disclosed the late monarch had been suffering from bone cancer in her final year.
While the official cause of the Queen’s death in September 2022 was listed as "old age," Johnson claimed in his memoir that she had been battling bone cancer, a fact that had been closely guarded by the royals. He recounted his last meeting with the Queen, describing her frail appearance, pale complexion, and visible bruising.
The leak has caused significant distress within the royal family, though it is unlikely they will take public action against Johnson. A source revealed that while the family is deeply upset, any reprimand will likely happen behind closed doors. This breach of sensitive information has intensified tensions, particularly given King Charles’s recent openness about his own health concerns, a contrast to the private approach taken during his mother’s reign.
