LONDON — Former British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged Thursday that he asked Queen Elizabeth II, who is supposed to remain politically neutral, to help the pro-“remain” side in Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum. The queen is expected to stay out of politics and rarely makes her personal views public. So she surprised many when she told well-wishers days before the referendum that Scots should “think very carefully about the future” before voting.The pro-remain side won the vote by 55% to 45%.The then-prime minister was criticized when he was recorded saying after the referendum that the queen had “purred down the line” when he called to tell her the news.
