New book reveals Queen Elizabeth was ‘determined to keep busy’ to cope with grief
A new book has claimed that Queen Elizabeth II knew she had ‘limited time left’ and was ‘determined to keep busy’ following the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2021.
“She accepted this with all the good grace you’d expect”, one passage reads.
The book even claims that the monarch was battling a rare form of bone marrow cancer in the months before her death.
Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, has been written by royal author and historian Gyles Brandreth, and is set for release in December.
