The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who became a father for his 7th time last December, apologized to the representative of the British royal crown, Queen Elizabeth II and to the people. The manager is accused of having participated in full confinement in collective parties organized within the offices of 10 Downing street. A negligence that goes very badly both in public opinion and in the royal family.
One of these clandestine meetings would have taken place on April 17, 2021, the same period as the funeral of Prince Philip. While the Queen sat alone with a mask in Windsor Chapel, due to health protocol, others partied behind the scenes of power (of a government already embroiled in a cocaine affair).
Boris Johnson had no choice but to justify himself on these events by stating via a spokesperson that he “is deeply regrettable that this took place at a time of national mourning and 10 (Downing Street) has issued an apology to the Palace.” James Slack, one of the instigators of the famous evening also apologized “unreservedly for the anger and pain caused.“
Although the Prime Minister denied having attended this evening (he was at Checkers, an official residence of the British government), he had, at the beginning of the week, admitted to having presented himself at a party in May 2020 .
The scandals today largely weaken the power in place and make the minister tumble in the polls. The opposition does not miss the target: “The Queen sat alone, grieving, like so many others at the time, affected by personal trauma and sacrifice, in order to play by the rules in the national interest“, denounced on Twitter Angela Rayner, the deputy leader of Labour. We are now awaiting the conclusions of the internal investigation carried out by a senior official which could lead to the resignation of the prime minister. A resignation which is widely encouraged by a part of the English.
