Queen Elizabeth II receives the new British head of government at her Scottish estate in Balmoral. The monarch will welcome outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson for an audience next Tuesday and then his successor, the PA news agency reported Wednesday, citing a Buckingham Palace spokesman. According to all polls, this is probably the current Secretary of State, Liz Truss.
During her time as a young politician with the Liberal Democrats, she spoke out in favor of the abolition of the monarchy. Truss now belongs to the arch-conservative wing of the Tory party and is a self-proclaimed champion of the monarchy.
Extremely unusual
The fact that the audience will take place at London’s Buckingham Palace at Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands, where the Queen is currently spending her summer vacation, is extremely unusual. The decision should fuel concerns about the 96-year-old’s health. The Queen had recently complained more about mobility issues and canceled her participation in public appearances several times.
planning safety
According to PA information, the decision has already been made to secure the schedule for the coming week. This is to prevent the queen from having to change plans at the last minute if the queen has problems with a longer journey.
It is the first time a prime minister has officially stepped down or been appointed outside Buckingham Palace during Her Majesty’s 70-year reign.
