I found the item Queen Elizabeth Reveals She Is Ready To Flee Britain, which, coming from a less-than-reliable source seemed rather far-fetched,
However, this following item seems to partially confirm the story.
The queen inconveniently,is a Brexiter.

Queen backs Brexit as alleged EU bust-up with ex-Deputy PM emerges
Her
Majesty reportedly let rip at Nick Clegg during lunch at Windsor
Castle
8
March, 2012
THE
Queen has been hailed as a backer of Brexit tonight after details
emerged
of
an extraordinary alleged bust-up between her and Nick Clegg over
Europe.
Her
Majesty let rip at the then Deputy PM during a lunch at Windsor
Castle,
The
Sun has been told.
The
89-year-old monarch firmly told passionate pro-European Mr Clegg that
she
believed
the EU was heading in the wrong direction.
Her
stinging reprimand went on for “quite a while”, leaving other
guests
around
the table stunned.
The
account of the bombshell lunch during the last government – which a
handful
of other government ministers also attended – has been relayed to
The
Sun by a highly reliable source.
The
senior source said: “People who heard their conversation were left
in no
doubt
at all about the Queen’s views on European integration.
“It
was really something, and it went on for quite a while.
“The
EU is clearly something Her Majesty feels passionately about.”
The
monarch is also said to have revealed her Eurosceptic feelings during
a
separate
conversation with MPs at a Buckingham Palace reception.
One
of a group of Parliamentarians in a circle with her at the time asked
Her
Majesty
for her thoughts on Brussels.
The
Queen is said to have snapped back angrily: “I don’t understand
Europe”.
A
parliamentary source, who relayed the remark to The Sun, said: “It
was said
with
quite some venom and emotion. I shall never forget it”.
The
claims will explode a furious controversy.
Brexit-backing
Tory MPs are already leaping on The Sun’s revelations as a
strong
sign the Queen is secretly on the side of Leave ahead of the landmark
EU
referendum on June 23.
But
British monarchs are deemed to be above politics and have always
tried
hard
to stay out of divisive issues.
The
upcoming EU referendum is one of the most divisive in decades,
splitting
the
country down the middle on whether to remain or leave.
Buckingham
Palace and Mr Clegg tried to pour cold water on the bust-up claim,
but
neither expressly denied a heated debate between the Queen and the
former
Lib Dem leader had taken place.
A
Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The Queen remains politically
neutral, as she
has for 63 years. We would never comment on spurious, anonymously
sourced
claims.
“The
referendum will be a matter for the British people.”
Former
Lib Dem boss Mr Clegg told The Sun: “I have absolutely no
recollection
of
it.
“I
don’t have a photographic memory. But I think I would have
remembered
something
as stark or significant as you have made it out to be.
“No
doubt you’ll speak to someone else and they’ll say, ‘I was
there I heard
it’.
Fine.
“But
I really can’t remember it at all.
“Anyway,
without sounding pompous, I find it rather distasteful to reveal
conversations
with the Queen.”
Despite
the longstanding tradition for Royals to stay out of politics, The
Queen
was seen to have controversially intervened in the referendum on
Scottish
independence in September 2014.
In
remarks widely judged to have been a call to keep Great Britain
together,
Her
Majesty told well-wishers after a Sunday church service that voters
should
“think very carefully” before making their decision.
It
is believed the remark had been carefully cooked up by the Queen’s
top
official
Sir Christopher Geidt and Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood —
who
is the PM’s most senior mandarin — after the government appealed
for her
help
when polls showed a surge in support for the ‘Yes’ campaign.
The
only other time the Queen was embroiled in a major political
controversy
was
in 1986, when The Sunday Times reported that then PM Margaret
Thatcher’s
social
policies and attitude to the Commonwealth caused Her Majesty dismay.
Buckingham
Palace issued a string of denials but the Sunday Times stood by its
story.
It
emerged the source was the Queen’s Press Secretary Michael Shea,
who was eventually forced to leave his job
Fears
are also growing the Queen will come under heavy pressure from No10
to make a pro-EU intervention during her official 90th birthday
celebrations in
mid-June,
just days before the nationwide vote.
Every
word of the monarch’s public utterances at the time will be pored
over
by
observers for any sign of her personal feelings.
Within
Royal circles, the Duke of Edinburgh’s anti-EU views are also
widely
known.
The
94-year-old has been overheard making his significant dislike of
Brussels
very
clear in private remarks.
But
the views of younger members of the Royal Family are less well known.
Prince
William was dragged into a bitter row last month when remarks in a
speech
he made at the Foreign Office were interpreted as being a tacit
signal
that he wants the UK to stay in the EU.
Kensington
Palace insisted the Duke of Cambridge had not meant give any
backing
to either side.
Anti-EU
campaigner and Tory MP Jacob Rees Mogg said: “I’d be delighted if
this was true and Her Majesty is a Brexiter
The
reason we all sing God Save The Queen so heartily is because we
always
believe
she is there to protect us from European encroachment.”
Another
leading Tory Eurosceptic, MP Steve Baker, said: “This is a happy
day
for
those of us who have sworn allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, her
heirs
and successors.
“I
would be delighted to welcome Her Majesty to our cause.
“I’ve
insisted the government must not to drag the monarchy into this
debate,
but
I may have to make an exception to my high principles on this
occasion.”
Don’t
voters have a right to know what the Queen thinks on the EU?
By
TOM NEWTON DUNN, Political Editor
OUR
revelations will trigger an almighty row, because the Queen loathes
little more than being dragged into an ugly political knife fight.
Constitutionally,
it is vital for the monarch to remain about the fray, no
matter
how important the issue is – and they don’t come much bigger than
Brexit.
Buckingham
Palace may even go as far as formally denying her anti-EU
remarks
that we are reporting were ever made.
Yet
Her Majesty’s most senior officials pointedly did not do so
tonight.
Neither
did Nick Clegg.
We
would also not be taking the big step in reporting them if they had
not come from two different and impeccably placed sources.
The
Queen is very arguably the most respected stateswoman in the world.
If
she has a view on something as big as Brexit, don’t voters have a
right
to
know what it is?
Hate
it as she might, Her Majesty now has form for political interference.
It
is now beyond doubt that she made a very careful intervention in the
Scottish
independence referendum to back a vote for the union.
Can
it be right that the Queen’s politics should only be known when she
and
the
Prime Minister deem it so between them?
It
is a massive debate. But remember who started it.
Queen
Elizabeth Reveals She Is Ready To Flee Britain
The
Queen was overheard saying that military intelligence suggests that
if Britain doesn't leave Europe then World War 3 will occur.
19
May, 2016
Queen
Elizabeth stunned BBC production staff yesterday while preparing to
deliver the Queen’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament,
hinting that she is planning to abdicate the throne and flee the UK,
a BBC insider claims.
‘One
is making the necessary preparations to abandon ship,’
Her Majesty said. ‘Aviolent
storm is coming, the likes of which Britain has never seen.‘
BBC
staff ‘stunned’
Her Majesty was
speaking to her advisors while taking on the Parliament Robe of State
and Imperial State Crown in the Robing Chamber, however she was
already wearing a microphone and her comments were heard by the whole
gallery.
‘She
seemed angry that she had to remain neutral in her speech. She
said there is solid intelligence from military top brass that if we
don’t Brexit there is an inevitable World War 3 scenario that will
play out,’
the insider said.
‘World
War 2 will seem like a bump in the road compared to this. I
must warn my subjects,’
the Queen said.
BBC
cover up
The
line was cut off at this point and BBC production staff were urgently
addressed by the director John Kirby. He said he had been
warned by BBC executives that the Head of State had been
‘shooting
her mouth off a lot lately‘
and that ‘we
must all ignore, forget, delete from our memories everything that we
heard.’
‘He
said there wasn’t going to be a scandal on his watch.’
Queen
Elizabeth’s abdication
What
does Queen Elizabeth know that we don’t? She is certainly
privy to information that is kept from the public. The
possibility of a geopolitical conflict, culminating in World War 3,
has been discussed by Britain’s politicians this past week.
By warning advisors that she has made the necessary preparations to
flee the country, is she hinting that she has inside information
of the darkest kind?
Brexit: Voter registration website crashes due to surge in enrollments
9 June, 2016
United
Kingdom lawmakers are demanding that Britons get more time to
register to vote in the referendum on European Union membership after
a technical glitch prevented last-minute registration.
The
latest betting odds on website Betfair show the implied probability
of a British vote to stay in the European Union have risen to nearly
76 percent on Thursday.
About
132,000 of the 525,000 people who did successfully register on
Tuesday were aged under 25, compared with about 13,000 from the 65-74
age group.
Urging
voters to think of the next generation he said: "I hope that
when people go to vote on June 23 they think about their children and
grandchildren, they think about the jobs and the opportunities they
want for them, the sort of country we want to build together and they
vote to say "we don't want the little England of Nigel Farage",
we want to be Great Britain and we are great if we stay in these
organisations and fight for the values we believe in".
Although
the website was down for only two hours, a Downing Street
spokesperson said it had been chose to extend the deadline by 48
hours to allow potential voters a further chance to sign up.
Day in Brexit: ‘Don’t mention the ‘B’ word!’ say European officials

RT,

June, 2016
European
Commission technocrats have banned the word ‘Brexit’ from
official communications, instead encouraging staff to use the
ominous-sounding “British situation.” RT takes a look at EU
censorship and the latest in the referendum contest.
Mandarins
in Brussels have lately avoided the term ‘Brexit’ in official
press conferences, although officials say they still use the ‘B’
word in internal communications.
While
the ban does not apply to commissioners, EC President Jean-Claude
Juncker avoided using the term at the G7 gathering in Japan.
According
to a leaked email obtained by Politico, the EU commission has issued
official lines to take on the June 23 referendum.
RT UK
These
include the noble recognition that it is “for
the British people to decide if they want the UK to remain a member
of the European Union,”
and the worrying admission that the commission has no “plan
B”
in the event Brits actually decide to leave.
“The
Commission does not want to enter into the details of plan B, because
we do not have a plan B, we have a plan A: Britain should stay in the
European Union as a constructive and active member of the EU.”
Partisan pasties
The
Remain camp won a ringing endorsement from an unusual source on
Monday – the Cornish Pasty Association (CPA).
The
industry body announced its support for remaining in the EU, citing
the bloc’s protected food names system.
CPA
chairman Jason Jobling said as there is “no
clear evidence available to demonstrate that Brexit would enable that
protection to continue, the CPA supports Britain remaining in the EU
and being able to participate in that system.”

Voter registration extension faces legal challenge
Whitehall’s
controversial decision to pass urgent legislation extending the voter
registration deadline for the EU referendum could face legal action.
Leave.EU
founder Arron Banks said there are grounds for a judicial review into
the move, which he described as “unconstitutional.”
Urgent
legislation was tabled after the government’s voter registration
website crashed under the weight of user traffic on Tuesday night,
two hours short of the original cut-off point.
France sharpens the guillotine
French
officials are reportedly keen to punish the UK in the event of a
Brexit as a way of deterring other nations from leaving the union.
According
to sources quoted in Politico, France plans to push other EU states
to rapidly void all existing treaties and agreements binding Britain
to the EU.

Paris
will be in a rush to withdraw subsidies, re-evaluate trade
relationships sector by sector, and deny British supervisory bodies
recognition from the EU.
Ironically,
France has the second highest level of Euroskepticism in the bloc,
according to a Pew Research Center survey published on Tuesday. Just
38 percent of French people support the EU.
London’s pre-vote gold rush
Gold
sales have risen in the UK since the latest polls indicate the Leave
campaign is gaining momentum.
London-based
ATS Bullion reported a 5-10 percent rise in sales, while
BullionVault.com said the growth in demand from the UK is
outstripping other regions.

“In
the coming weeks, we’re expecting to be busy,”
said GoldCore director Mark O’Byrne.
“The
recent polls [on Brexit] are going to create more jitters ... that
should lead to quite robust demand as we run into polling day.”
"This
desperate scaremongering from the British govt and its organs, the
EU, and the #Remain campaign they are running is getting
absurd.
"Behind
closed doors, the Russian govt may very well prefer to see #Brexit
for geopolitical reasons.
"But
more to the point - unlike Obama, Merkel & Hollande who have all
issued open threats against the British people, and nearly every
other Western leader, institution, and org - Russia is NOT taking an
official position or interfering in the vote, as it is a domestic
affair and process.
"Because
#Russia as a matter of principle supports sovereignty as the
bedrock of international law and relations, while the West does
everything in its power to erode it. The UK's referendum on
continuing membership in the EU or not, is just one more crystal
clear example of that fact."
---Mark Sleboda
Russia's Silence Conceals a Preference for Brexit
On
balance, a British withdrawal from the EU would bolster Russia's
preferred geopolitical narratives and make it more difficult for the
West to counter Russian power plays.
