Keir Starmer has not only become Britain's Prime Minister but it looks like he's in for an 'utterly freaky' royal honour from King Charles as he 'officially' welcomes his new title
After winning a landslide election victory, Keir Starmer became Britain's 58th Prime Minister - and has now met with King Charles to 'officially' mark the occasion.
If previous Prime Minister traditions are anything to go by, a trip to Royal hotspot Balmoral Castle could be on the cards. Following in the footsteps of previous country leaders, Keir and his family - including his wife Victoria and his son and daughter, if they choose to - will reportedly be invited to spend a few days there with the Royals during the summer.
Previous incumbents of Number 10 have had mixed feelings about their own visits, however. Margaret Thatcher, for example, likened her Balmoral trips to “purgatory” and Tony Blair described it as "a vivid combination of the intriguing, the surreal and the utterly freaky", claiming he only survived the weekend with the help of strong alcoholic drinks.
Then, in contrast, David Cameron, recalled the “bliss” of walking the Aberdeenshire hills without his close protection team. He wrote at length about his relationship with royalty in his 2019 memoir For the Record, saying he “lapped up the Balmoral experience”.
