Boris Johnson says Queen Elizabeth II had bone cancer – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

LONDON — The late Queen Elizabeth II had a form of bone cancer in her final years, Boris Johnson claimed in his memoir.

In an extract from “Unleashed,” due for publication next month, the former prime minister said he had “known for a year or more” that the British monarch “had a form of bone cancer” when he resigned in September 2022, just two days before her death.

It marks the first time a senior British politician has spoken about her possible cause of death, which was officially listed as “old age” on her death certificate.
