speaking about memoir sunrise, wasp Johnson targeted for explosive revelations.
“Dog’s action, Boris,” Barr said sternly.
“If the royal family or the Queen had wanted to release that (information), they would have done so. They must know everything. So, selling a book, I think it’s terrible,” he said.
Co-host Matt Shirvington was equally blunt in his criticism: “To tear down the Queen’s confidence like that… just horrible.”
This is not the first time there have been revelations about Queen Elizabeth suffering from cancer, with royal historian Giles Brandreth making similar claims in his 2022 book Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.
“I heard that the Queen had a type of myeloma-bone marrow cancer,” Brandreth wrote.
“The most common symptom of myeloma is bone pain, especially in the pelvis and lower back, and multiple myeloma is a disease that often affects the elderly.
“Currently, there is no known cure, but treatments – including drugs to help regulate the immune system and drugs to help prevent bones from weakening – can reduce the severity of symptoms and improve patient survival. “Can extend survival by months or two to three years.”
The revelation comes as King Charles III publicly revealed his cancer battle after having a procedure on his prostate earlier this year. Princess Kate was also forced to undergo chemotherapy treatment for cancer in recent months following stomach surgery.
Royal documents filed in the UK National Archives are kept away from the public for 100 years.
