By The UK government on Friday make an apology to Queen Elizabeth II, after disclosures Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s staff broke coronavirus restrictions by partying on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral.
Johnson’s spokesman told journalists, “It is deeply regrettable that this took place at a time of national mourning and Number 10 (Downing Street) has apologized to the palace,” The letter to the 95-year-old head of state has been sent via official networks by telephone, and not personally sent by Johnson, who is under growing compression to quit after a slew of similar accusations. He so far has tried to weather conditions of public and political outrage, apologizing in parliament this week for appearing at one of the meetings in May 2020 but claiming it was a work event.
Though Johnson was not present at any of two Downing Street gatherings a year later i.e., on April 16, 2021, as the Queen set to entomb her 73-year husband, it takes the outrage to another level.
