The editor of the British "Sana" Tony Gallagher told BBC Radio 4 this morning that the story about Queen Elizabeth II wanting Great Britain to leave the EU is "completely true", despite the denial from Buckingham Palace.
This is written by the European edition of the American website "Politico" and states that Gallagher insisted that the story was revealed to "Sana" by well-informed sources, but he refused to say whether one of the sources was Justice Minister Michael Gave.
The British "Daily Telegraph" claimed that it was Minister Gav who was "San's" source for the story.
On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace denied claims by the "San" tabloid that Queen Elizabeth supports Britain's exit from the EU.
"The Queen is still politically neutral, as she has been for 63 years," said a spokesman for the British Queen in an emailed response to the media, Reuters reports.
He added that Buckingham Palace will not comment on "false claims by unnamed sources" and said that the will of the British people on the future of Great Britain in the EU will be seen in the referendum.
"The Sun" published the story "The Queen backs Brexit" on its front page, citing unnamed sources who claim that Elizabeth II has, on at least two occasions over the past decade, "clearly shown" that she is against Great Britain's membership of the EU.
Unnamed sources told "San" that in 2011, the queen told the then deputy British prime minister, Nick Clegg, during lunch at Windsor Castle, that the EU was moving in the wrong direction.
Clegg denied the allegations and wrote on his Twitter account that he did not remember it happening, stressing that it was not something he would forget.
The newspaper also reported that the British Queen told MPs, in a separate meeting, that she does not understand Europe.
The spokesperson of "Sana", after the denial of the Buckingham Palace, said that the media "stands behind its story, which was provided by credible sources".
