When Elizabeth II, The Queen of England died in the summer of 2022, the cause of her death was not reported. The death certificate only states that it occurred due to natural causes. This is something very controversial, since it is quite natural to die from either a car accident or a heart attack. The British royal house has decided not to disclose additional information. However, after all, it was the former Prime Minister of England, Boris Johnsonwho told in his memoirs, Untiedthat the monarch died because bone cancer.
In the book, he also points out that Isabel II knew very well what was happening to her. The seriousness of his illness was not hidden from him, and he was aware that he had little time left when he stayed with him after resignation. The death occurred just two days after that meeting, when he had already completed consideration of the transition to a new prime minister.
It is not surprising that at one time the Royal House decided to hide this information about Isabella II. We have recently seen attempts to hide public absences Kate Middleton even with doctored family photos. Later, she herself admitted that she had cancer, but she wanted to spend the first stage of treatment with her family, in solitude. This is something quite acceptable. If the illness of the Queen of England had become known, it might have caused a great stir not only in her country, but throughout the world. However, now Boris Johnson does not see the risk in making this fact public. Moreover, he is not even the first to talk about it.
What is bone cancer?
Cancer rarely starts in the bones. The most normal thing is that it gets there through metastasis of another tumor. In such cases, survival rate is very low.
However, there are some cancers that start in the bones. There are actually three different types: osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. The first and third are more common in children and adolescents. Thus, if Elizabeth II had not had bone cancer metastases, It was probably chondrosarcoma. This disease begins in cartilage and then spreads to bone and is usually found in humans. more than 50 years. It usually develops in hip, shoulder or pelvisalthough it can also form in the spine.
Elizabeth II had 96 years old when he died; although, according to Boris Johnson, he had known about his illness for a long time. We don’t know exactly how much.
The death of Elizabeth II did not come as a surprise to her
Boris Johnson’s memoirs have not yet been published. However, a short excerpt was made public in Mail on Sunday as they indicate in Huffington Post. It is in this fragment that he tells the last time he saw Isabella II.
He went to Balmoral Castle, where the Queen had her summer residence, to inform her of his decision to resign. Private Secretary to Elizabeth II, Edward Youngwarned him that he had gotten much worse lately. However, when she walked into the room she was in, Johnson was shocked by how badly the bone cancer had affected her. “She appeared pale and hunched over, and there were dark bruises on her arms and wrists, probably from IVs or injections,” she recalls in her memoirs.
Despite this, the queen greeted him with a smile. She knew what was coming, but she focused on what would be her final task as head of state. He died just two days later for natural reasons.
The throne passed to his son Carlos III, with whom the Royal House has been more open about the cancer he suffers from. Does this mean that what Boris Johnson says is not true? It’s hard to say because no one spoke after Buckingham. However, the former prime minister was not the first to point out that the Queen had cancer. Historian of the Royal House, Giles BrandrethI have already made similar statements on this matter. Be that as it may, everyone has the right to bear their illness in privacy, regardless of whether he is a janitor or the Queen of England. Transparency in monarchies is expected in other matters as well. After all, this is not so relevant.
