Nick Clegg has strongly denied claims the Queen backed Britains exit from the European Union. Buckingham Palace has insisted the Queen is politically neutral in the EU referendum campaign, after a report published in The Sun newspaper claimed she had expressed strong Eurosceptic views.
I think its appalling that people who want to drag the United Kingdom out of European Union now want to drag the Queen into the referendum debate, said Clegg. As for The Suns story: its not true, I couldnt be clearer than that.
Clegg said he did not recall the details of what was said in the conversation with the monarch.
I have no recollection of this whatsoever...I suspect I would have remembered [the conversation] had it taken place, he added.
