Former PMs Reflect on Last Meetings with Queen

Craig Brown's book 'Q: A Voyage Around the Queen' has caught the attention of Donald Trump, who reacted negatively to a passage where Queen Elizabeth II described him as 'very rude.' Trump dismissed Brown as a 'sleazebag' and claimed to have no knowledge of him. In another context, Boris Johnson's memoir 'Unleashed' recounts his final meeting with the Queen before her death, where she advised him against bitterness in politics, reflecting on their conversation amid her declining health due to bone cancer. Johnson described a surreal experience at Balmoral when he first visited as Prime Minister, recalling the Queen's hospitality and a memorable torchlit procession of pipers. Both accounts highlight the nuanced relationships and moments shared with the late monarch, illustrating her impact on contemporary political figures.
