BBC series says officials and Buckingham Palace discussed ‘utterly grim’ environment at Downing Street
Senior government officials spoke to Buckingham Palace to express worries about Boris Johnson’s conduct in office, and discussed asking Queen Elizabeth to raise concerns with him during their private audiences, a BBC documentary has said.
It does not specify which of Johnson’s actions prompted the concerns, but highlights clashes between Dominic Cummings, who was Johnson’s chief of staff at the start of his prime ministership, and Sir Mark Sedwill, the former head of the civil service.
