Queen gave witty response when she learnt intruder wanted to kill her; Here’s what she said

A new book has claimed that the late Queen Elizabeth II had jokingly responded to the news of an intruder breaking into the Windsor Castle grounds to kill her. The Queen was in Windsor Castle on Christmas Day in 2021 when security personnel nabbed a masked man who had entered the castle grounds with a crossbow.

As per the book titled "Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait," when the monarch learned about the intruder, she jokingly said that the suspect might have "put a dampener on Christmas." The author of the book, Gyles Brandreth, also claimed that the late Queen was battling cancer before she passed away. Mr Brandreth is a friend of Prince Philip.

The biographer noted that although the late Queen's death was officially listed as old age, she was suffering from myeloma, a rare form of bone cancer. He wrote in the book that he had heard that the Queen was battling with myeloma, due to which she experienced tiredness, weight loss, and "mobility issues" during the last years of her life. Myeloma is currently incurable, but treatments can reduce its severity and extend the patient's survival up to three years.



The book claimed that Queen Elizabeth II had already realised that her death was nearing. Mr Brandreth said the 96-year-old monarch approached the end of her life with "good grace."
