Former deputy PM Nick Clegg has told the BBC that Michael Gove was behind the Sun's "Queen Backs Brexit" story.

The Palace complained about the story, which quoted an anonymous source as saying the Queen had "let rip" at Clegg about Europe at Windsor Castle.

Clegg told a BBC documentary on Brexit that "Michael Gove obviously communicated it - well, I know he did".

Gove has previously denied briefing the story, which ran in March, and the Sun has said it had two sources.

Former Justice Secretary Gove has said: "I don't know how the Sun got all its information and I don't think it's really worth my adding anything to what's already been said."
