Uk, party before Philip’s funeral: Boris Johnson apologizes (through his spokesperson) to the Queen
Boris Johnson apologizes to the Queen Elizabeth for parties on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral. He is the former head of communications of the British Prime Minister BoJo, James Slack, to bring back the apologies. Slack apologized for arranging his farewell party in Downing Street on April 16, 2021, in full lockdown and on the eve of the royal consort’s funeral, and declared to take “full responsibility” for an event that “should not have taken place”.
“I want to apologize unreservedly for the outrage and pain caused. I am deeply sorry and take full responsibility,” the former spokesperson said in a statement. Slack left his post to become deputy director of the Sun.
A second party would be held on the same day, in the same residence, to celebrate the departure of a personal photographer of the prime minister. According to anonymous witnesses quoted by the Telegraph, at one point the parties with alcohol and music became a single party, lasting beyond midnight, with about 30 people, but without BoJo, who according to his spokesman had left for the country residence. .
Johnson and his staff have been in the crosshairs over the past few months for several parties held in alleged violation of the restrictions. In particular, the party with more than 100 guests organized in Downing Street in May 2020 when the Covid regulations provided that you could leave the house only for valid reasons.
