There is talk of the party organized in Downing Street on April 16, 2021, the day before Prince Philip’s funeral in London
Two couples were seen by numerous witnesses getting closer at the party attended by assistants and officials, which ended after 4am. One retreated to a dark office while the other preluded in a kitchen, then chose a room with no light and away from prying eyes. For that party, several Scotland Yard participants had been fined following its investigation into the scandal surrounding events held at institutional venues in breach of measures put in place by the pandemic.
Johnson was not present, he was outside London at the Prime Minister’s country house in the Checkers. He then had to make a mea culpa in front of the members of the House of Commons, in which the then Prime Minister apologized to Queen Elizabeth for the lack of respect in the face of national mourning. Apologies had also cost him the removal of Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, who had reminded Johnson of the practice of not appointing the royal family to the House of Commons.
