God Save the Queen. In the event of a hard Brexit, i.e. a lack of agreement with the EU for the exit of the United Kingdom, it would be none other than Elizabeth II who would pay the price, who according to what the British press writes would be immediately saved. Indeed, the British authorities have already revised the Cold War contingency plans for the relocation of the royal family should riots break out in London in the event that Great Britain decides on a traumatic exit from the European Union next month.
“These emergency evacuation plans have been in place since the Cold War but are now being repurposed in the event of civil unrest following a no-deal Brexit,” said the Sunday Times quoting an unnamed source from the Government Cabinet. The Mail on Sunday also reported that it had learned of plans to relocate the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth, to safe locations away from London.
The UK government is working to gain parliamentary backing for a Brexit transition deal with the EU ahead of the 29 March departure date, and the government and business are preparing contingency plans for a 'no deal' Brexit.
