It became known what disease tormented Queen Elizabeth II before her death: the palace tried hard to keep it secret

Two years after the death of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, who passed away on September 8, 2022, it became known what kind of disease Her Majesty was suffering from. Buckingham Palace kept the monarch's illness a secret, but in his memoirs, politician Boris Johnson revealed that she had bone cancer.

According to Politico, this is the first time that a British official has likely revealed the real reason for the death of a royal. In official documents, it was listed as "old age."

According to the politician, the last time he saw Elizabeth II was a few days before her death. At that time, the monarch's condition had deteriorated significantly, but she did not lose her positive attitude.

"She seemed pale and more stooped, and she had dark ­bruising on her hands and wrists, probably from drips or injections. However, her mood was completely ­unimpaired by her illness, and from time to time in our ­conversation she still flashed that great white smile in its sudden mood-lifting beauty," said the former British Prime Minister.

In his memoirs, Boris Johnson admitted that he had known that the monarch had been suffering from bone cancer for a year. According to the 60-year-old politician, in the last days of her life, Her Majesty felt that she would soon pass away.

"She knewa ll ­summer that she was going, but was determined to hang on and do her last duty," the official said.
