Uk: New Conservative Party leader, Liz Truss meets Queen, assumes PM office

Newly elected leader of British Conservative Party, Liz Truss, has officially assumed offices as the 3rd female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, after Margaret Hilda Thatcher and Theresa May

Liz Truss on Tuesday officially became Britain’s new prime minister, after having an audience with British Head of State Queen Elizabeth II, after the resignation of Boris Johnson.

Truss, a former foreign secretary, 47, officially visited the Queen to formally accept her offer to form a new government and become the 15th Prime Minister of her 70-year reign.

The symbolic ceremony took place at the sovereign’s remote Balmoral retreat in the Scottish Highlands, as the Queen, 96, was deemed unfit to return to London due to ill health.
