Overview

  • Boris Johnson's upcoming memoir, 'Unleashed,' alleges Queen Elizabeth II had a form of bone cancer before her death in September 2022.
  • Johnson claims the Queen was aware of her condition for over a year but chose to keep it private, focusing on her royal responsibilities.
  • The Queen's death certificate lists her cause of death as 'old age,' and Buckingham Palace has not commented on Johnson's claims.
  • Despite her illness, Johnson noted that the Queen remained mentally sharp and committed to her duties until her final days.
  • The revelation has sparked discussions about the privacy of royal medical records and contrasts with King Charles III's openness about his own health issues.
