Palace slams 'Queen backs Brexit' report

Buckingham Palace hit out yesterday at a report which claimed Queen Elizabeth II is in favour of Britain leaving the European Union. The Sun, Britain's most-read newspaper, put the headline "Queen backs Brexit" on its front page with a photograph of the monarch, with the sub-heading "EU going in wrong direction, she says". Britain is due to vote on June 23 on whether to remain a member of the 28-member European Union.
