The Queen, as per a new royal book, was not in favor of Brexit and was known to be a supporter of remaining in the European Union. The book “Power and the Palace” by ex-royal correspondent Valentine Low sheds light on the private interactions between the monarchy and the government during the UK’s departure from the EU five years ago.
Despite the Queen’s constitutional duty to stay apolitical, it is suggested that she privately expressed concerns about Brexit. A senior minister reportedly recounted a conversation with the Queen three months before the 2016 referendum where she voiced reservations about leaving the EU, indicating a preference for maintaining the existing relationship. Former Prime Minister David Cameron also noted the Queen’s belief in the importance of European cooperation, albeit with frustrations about EU bureaucracy.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting the Queen supported Brexit, recent insights have emerged regarding her views on the matter. Buckingham Palace, which previously challenged such claims, has chosen not to comment on the latest revelations.
Additionally, insights into the Queen’s interactions with former US President Donald Trump have surfaced, particularly surrounding his visit to the UK in 2018. Despite some controversies, including a perceived breach of royal protocol, the Queen was reportedly unperturbed by Trump’s behavior during their meetings. An insider disclosed details debunking certain misconceptions about the events that transpired during Trump’s visit.
Overall, these recent disclosures offer a fresh perspective on the Queen’s nuanced stance on significant political matters and her handling of diplomatic engagements, shedding light on her approach to complex international relations.
