Boris Johnson has said the Queen never mentioned the Partygate scandal during their weekly meetings - even after it emerged No10 staff had partied the night before Prince Philip's funeral.
The former Prime Minister, who was one of the late monarch's last visitors when he travelled to Balmoral last Tuesday, said she was "bright and focused" two days before her death.
Mr Johnson described his weekly audience with the Queen as "a fantastic break from everything else".
