The joke Queen Elizabeth made at the end of her life about her funeral

The late Queen Elizabeth II made a joke about former prime minister Boris Johnson at a family gathering two days before her death, according to a new book.

New book Out, by author Tim Shipman, claims Queen Elizabeth II joked: "At least that idiot won't be organizing my funeral now" after accepting Boris Johnson's resignation as Prime Minister.

The Queen appointed Liz Truss as her 15th Prime Minister in one of the last official acts of her reign.

In another joke about his personality, the author also claims that the late queen added that Boris was perhaps better suited for that scene.

Buckingham Palace has not commented on this quote.
