In a new memoir, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson claimed Queen Elizabeth II suffered from bone cancer before she died in 2022.
In his new memoir, Unleash, Johnson, who met with the Queen at Balmoral Castle just days before her death, describes the Queen’s appearance in her last days.
Johnson wrote, “She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections.”
Concerning her alleged bone cancer, Johnson wrote, “I had known for a year or more that she had a form of bone cancer, and her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline.”
“She had known all summer that she was going, but was determined to hang on and do her last duty,” added Johnson.

Per ABC News:
The late Queen Elizabeth II suffered from bone cancer for more than a year before her death in 2022 at the age of 96, according to a claim made by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in his upcoming memoir.
Johnson, who met with the queen at Balmoral Castle just a few days before her death on Sept. 8, 2022, writes in his memoir, titled “Unleashed,” about the queen’s appearance in their final meeting.
“She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections,” Johnson writes, adding, “She had known all summer that she was going, but was determined to hang on and do her last duty.”
Of her alleged bone cancer diagnosis, Johnson writes, “I had known for a year or more that she had a form of bone cancer, and her doctors were worried that at any time she could enter a sharp decline.”
Johnson’s claims come just weeks after Kate, the Princess of Wales, announced she was cancer-free after finishing chemotherapy.
Kate, the Princess of Wales, is opening up about her health six months after announcing that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
Kate said in a video message that she has completed chemotherapy and is now doing what she can to “stay cancer free.” https://t.co/EAMSXxfP5Y pic.twitter.com/fpgfRW9Ul0
