The PM said: “Perhaps the best thing I can say is that I’ve always had the highest admiration for the Queen and the unifying roles she plays in our country and across the Commonwealth.
“As for all other matters to do with the royal family, I’ve spent a long time not commenting on royal family matters and I don’t intend to depart from that today.”
What else did the PM say?
Later in the briefing, Mr Johnson was asked by a journalist whether the royal family is racist.
Again, the PM played a straight bat.
“I congratulate you in your attempt to involve me in this story more than I’ve said already.

“But I really do think when it comes to matters to do with the royal family, the right thing for Prime Ministers to say is nothing.
