Gyles Brandreth has said he "heard" Queen Elizabeth was battling bone marrow cancer before her death in his new book.
Her majesty's death was pinned simply on old age but Gyles, a friend of the royal family, spoke further on the topic in his new biography, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.
The Mirror reported, in his book, Gyles said: "I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life.
