Queen Elizabeth's true feelings on Brexit revealed in five word statement

The late Queen Elizabeth II made the decision to not share opinions on her political stance - but one political expert has now revealed exactly where she stood when it came to Brexit. It has previously been revealed that members of the Royal Family, except the monarch, may cast a vote when it comes to anything political.

Despite this, royals typically do not vote, with Sky News's Alastair Bruce previously saying: "This is principally to protect the apolitical nature of their support to the monarch but also because, in the past, as royal dukes, many male members of the family were prevented by law from voting because they could sit as peers in the House of Lords."

Speaking of the late Queen, retired British politician George Osborne said: "I was constantly astonished by how candid she was and that none of this ever came out."

He then added: "She'd be very forthright in telling you what she thought of individuals, including members of her own family, and what she thought about things going on in the country."

As reported by The Times, an unamed senior minister previously spoke to the late Queen in 2016, who, at the time, revealed what she said about Brexit.

They recalled how she said, "We shouldn't leave the EU."

The pair also discussed the referendum, and she reportedly said, "It's better to stick with the devil you know."

According to the publication "if the [late Queen had had a vote, she would have voted Remain."

Although she would read stories in the papers about Brussels bureaucracy and say, "This is ridiculous," on a fundamental level, the late Queen saw the EU as part of the postwar settlement, marking an era of co-operation after two world wars.

Discussing the idea of Royal Family's right to vote, the Duchess of Sussex gave an interview in 2020 stating that Prince Harry had never been "allowed" to vote.
