The former British Prime Minister shared his memories of the late Queen.
Boris Johnson recalled in his memoirs that Elizabeth II tried to deliberately “postpone” her departure for one purpose.
An excerpt from the book by the former British Prime Minister is published by the Daily Mail .
The politician says that in the summer of 2022, the Queen understood that her death was near.
Elizabeth's health was deteriorating, but the head of the royal family clung to life, trying to resolve one issue.
According to Johnson, the discussion was about ensuring the transition of power in the country.
In the year of the Queen's death, Britain spent several months unable to decide who would become the new Prime Minister.
Johnson resigned in July and his replacement, Liz Truss, was not found until early autumn.
In his memoirs, the politician notes that the queen lived all summer with the thought of her imminent death, but held on in order to fulfill her last duty.
Elizabeth defined her ultimate goal as a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.
The British Queen died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 97, after 70 years of reign.
At the same time, Liz Truss remained at the head of the government for less than 2 months.
