The Queen is set to appoint the next Prime Minister Liz Truss from Balmoral, breaking with tradition. Her Majesty has been dealing with mobility issues since last autumn.
In normal circumstances the Queen would appoint the next prime minister from Buckingham Palace or Windsor. Today (September 6) Boris Johnson will travel to Balmoral, Aberdeenshire, where the Queen will hold an audience with the outgoing Prime Minister before receiving Liz Truss.
The 96-year-old monarch has been advised to stay at her summer residence in the Scottish Highlands to appoint her 15th British Prime Minister. A source told The Sun around two weeks ahead of the planned ceremony that “the Queen has now been advised not to travel”.
