The UK government on Friday apologised to Queen Elizabeth II, after revelations that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's staff broke coronavirus

The UK government on Friday apologised to Queen Elizabeth II, after revelations that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s staff broke coronavirus restrictions by partying on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral.

But the two parties on April 16, 2021 as the Queen prepared to bury her husband of 73 years — and revealed by the Daily Telegraph — takes the scandal to another level. Johnson, who is currently isolating due to a close family member contracting Covid, was at his official country residence, Chequers, at the time, according to the Telegraph.

Most cabinet members have rallied around Johnson but the backing from potential successors such as powerful finance minister Rishi Sunak has been distinctly lukewarm. The party is reported to have merged with another event marking the departure of one of Johnson’s personal photographers.
