Queen Elizabeth II allegedly joked about her funeral after accepting Boris Johnson’s resignation

The author of a new book claims the late Queen made the remark to amuse family gathered at Balmoral two days before her death. Queen Elizabeth II joked “at least I won’t have that idiot organising my funeral now” after accepting Boris Johnson’s resignation as Prime Minister, according to a new book. The late Queen made the comment “to amuse” during a gathering of family and her closest aides in Balmoral two days before her death , an author has claimed.

She had appointed Liz Truss as her 15th prime minister in her final official act of her reign. Tim Shipman, the author of Out , a political history of Brexit, claimed the late Queen also said Johnson was “perhaps better suited to the stage”..
