London: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has reportedly apologised to Queen Elizabeth II over the Supreme Court verdict earlier this week against his decision to prorogue Parliament.
Johnson telephoned the Queen on Tuesday after the UK Supreme Court ruled that he had been “unlawful” to suspend Parliament for five weeks, The Sunday Times reported.
A No 10 Downing Street source told the newspaper: “He got on to the Queen as quickly as possible to say how sorry he was”.
The Supreme Court rebuke has reportedly led to a breakdown of trust between Buckingham Palace and Downing Street. “They are not impressed by what is going on — at the very highest levels of the family,” a government source was quoted as saying.
A royal source claims that the Queen’s senior advisers are “fed up”. (PTI)
