US EditionQueen Elizabeth II Was a Remainer, New Book Claims
New book reveals Queen Elizabeth II privately supported remaining in the EU, valuing post-war cooperation while expressing frustration with its bureaucracy, according to palace insiders.
- Power and the Palace by Valentine Low reveals Queen Elizabeth II was a Remainer and told a senior minister `We shouldn’t leave the EU` more than three months before the referendum.
- Drawn from scores of interviews, the book by Valentine Low challenges earlier press claims such as The Sun’s front-page `Queen Backs Brexit` years ago, while Buckingham Palace initially declined to comment due to royal convention.
- The book records her frustration, saying Queen Elizabeth II expressed anger at Brussels bureaucracy with `venom and emotion` and called it `ridiculous` years ago.
- Buckingham Palace complained to IPSO and avoided a strong denial to not imply political views, David Cameron, former prime minister, chose not to use the Queen's reported views in the Remain campaign, and Nick Clegg denied the story, accusing Michael Gove of leaking it.
- The book revisits events surrounding the UK’s EU withdrawal years ago and appears almost three years after the Queen’s death, aiming to clarify the monarchy–government relationship.
