According to the former British prime minister, Queen Elizabeth II made an excellent mental impression in her last meeting with Boris Johnson, two days before her death. “One of the reasons it was so shocking to hear of her death on the 8th[de setembro]was that she was absolutely fine in that audience,” Johnson told the BBC on Monday. “She was very focused on geopolitics, on British politics, citing 1950s statesmen, which was extraordinary. She looked very bright, very focused,” Johnson continued.
Johnson emphasized that the Queen was obviously not doing well. When he learned of her death, Johnson said he found it incredible that his sense of duty had brought the Queen to the end of her life. He met the Queen on 6 September at her Scottish country estate, Balmoral Castle. He was formally dismissed from office, after which the Queen appointed her successor, Liz Truss, as Prime Minister. On 8 September, Elizabeth II died at Balmoral.
