Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has claimed Queen Elizabeth had a form of bone cancer before she died.

In an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, Unleash, Johnson recalled his final meeting with the late Queen in September 2022.

He said 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.

She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections.

But her mind was completely unimpaired by her illness.

Johnson claimed the queen knew all summer that she was going, but was determined to hang on and do her last duty to oversee the peaceful and orderly transition from one government to the next.
