ROME -- British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Saturday that Queen Elizabeth II was "on very good form" during their weekly conversation earlier this week.
"I spoke to Her Majesty as I do every week as part of my job and she was on very good form," Johnson told ITV News on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Rome. "She has been told by her doctors that she has got to rest and I think we have got to respect that and understand that and everybody wishes her all the very best," Johnson said.
She will also skip the Nov. 13 Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London, an event meant to honor the British and Commonwealth men and women who have fought wars, disasters and pandemics to protect and defend the nation.
