Liz Truss’s visits to the monarch have turned out to be more of a revolving door than a grand entrance. In September she travelled as the incoming PM to Balmoral for her audience with the late Queen. Now she’s taking part in the reverse side of the ceremonial handover, tendering her resignation to King Charles.
This is the King as head of state, in the formal splendour of Buckingham Palace, providing the constitutional mechanism for a change of PM. But what is said in this upmarket exit interview won’t be made public.Truss’s incoming meeting as the new PM proved to be the last public event of the Queen’s long reign, and now she becomes the first PM to offer her resignation to the new King.
