Johnson said the BBC interviewed him regarding the Queen a few months ago for a pre-recorded conversation in case of her death. “I had to swallow and mightn’t go on,” he said. “I’m really not built close to water, but I was so overcome with grief that I had to ask her to leave me alone.”
With an anecdote, Johnson made the black-clad MPs laugh. “Unlike us politicians with our motorbike escorts and armored convoys, I can tell you as an eyewitness that she herself, without officers or bodyguards, drove in her own car and sped through the Scottish countryside at frightening speeds, to the utter astonishment of walkers and tourists alike, that we encountered,” Johnson said.
