Boris Johnson has recalled his final meeting with the Queen which came just two days before her death was announced. The former Prime Minister has told how the Queen had been “absolutely on it” despite appearing ill.
The MP had his final audience with the Queen in Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 6 as he made way for Liz Truss to succeed him in Downing Street. Mr Johnson, who was the 14th prime minister of the monarch’s 70-year reign, said he was moved by her “sense of duty” during their meeting.
He said the monarch, who celebrated 70 years on the throne in June, remained “actively focused” on both world and UK politics when he formally tendered his resignation as prime minister to her, but said she was “clearly not well”.
