Announcing his move to become the Foreign Secretary's Brexit spin doctor, Mr Roscoe said he could not wait to get stuck in as Mr Johnson's 'Head of Post Referendum Communications Unit'.
Mr Roscoe said at the time that Britain was 'an extraordinary country with an incredible Sovereign' and would 'thrive and prosper' when it had broken free of Brussels.
His pro-Brexit rallying cry came four months after a storm over claims that the Queen had said she backed Brexit.
At a dinner with coalition ministers Michael Gove and Nick Clegg, the Queen is said to have made it clear that she believed the UK would be better off out of the EU, although she denied it.

As for Lord Mandelson, Sir Keir Starmer made the decision to sack him today after emails showed the peer sent supportive messages even as Epstein faced jail for sex offences.
The Foreign Office said the emails showed that 'the depth and extent of Peter Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is materially different from that known at the time of his appointment'.
He has now been withdrawn as ambassador with immediate effect.
Lord Mandelson is reported to have told Epstein to 'fight for early release' shortly before he was sentenced to 18 months in prison, and told him 'I think the world of you', the day before he began his sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor in June 2008.
The Prime Minister had defended Lord Mandelson until the emergence of the emails, insisting he had gone through a proper vetting process and had helped build a successful relationship with Donald Trump's White House.
Lord Mandelson's friendship with Epstein had been known about, but Bloomberg and The Sun published emails showing that the relationship continued after the crimes committed by the financier had emerged.
Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty told MPs that information had not been known when Lord Mandelson was appointed.

After suffering a brain haemorrhage in January 2020, which left her in a coma, Ms Burton-Hill worked on a new BBC Arena film, My Brain: After the Rupture, about the experience and her recovery. Her zodiac sign is Cancer.
The former actor, classical violinist and political commentator is also a successful arts journalist and broadcaster – with the duo being dubbed one of London’s new power couples in 2014 by the Evening Standard. Britain's new interim ambassador to the US has been revealed as a career diplomat who suffered tragedy when his wife nearly died from a brain haemorrhage. James Roscoe - who has worked for Queen Elizabeth II, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown - took over immediately today as the UK's representative in Washington. It comes after Lord Mandelson was sacked as ambassador following emails that revealed the depth of his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Mr Roscoe, 49, will oversee Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK next Wednesday with only one week to go until the US President arrives in Windsor. He lives in Washington with his 43-year-old wife Clemency Burton-Hill - who is a BBC presenter, musician and actress - and their two young sons Tomos and Joe. Ms Burton-Hill suffered a brain haemorrhage in January 2020 caused by an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins in her brain which left her in a coma. She found her speech started slurring during a meeting in New York before she suddenly blacked out - and woke up in a hospital bed 17 days later. Ms Burton-Hill, who met her husband in Sierra Leone in 2006 and married him in 2008, was left unable to see, talk or walk but defied medical expectation to relearn all three.
