It Queen isabel II will not travel to Buckingham Palace in London on September 6, when the changing of prime ministers takes place, but rather will receive Boris Johnson and his successor at Balmoral Castle (Scotland)Buckingham Palace reported Wednesday.

New leader of the Conservative Party –Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak-, who will become prime minister, will be announced on September 5 and the next day a change of power will take place.

This is the first time a Chief Executive has had to travel to Scotland for this important constitutional event with Queen Elizabeth II, 96 yearswhich according to the British press, the doctors had advised him not to travel for health reasons.

As a sign of tradition, the outgoing prime minister went to Buckingham Palace to formalize his resignation, after which Queen Elizabeth II received the new president of Great Britain.

On this occasion, this change of government coincided with summer vacation what happened to the head of state in Scotland.

according to historians, new prime ministers have always been received at Buckingham Palace since the reign of Victoria (between 1837 and 1901), with exception from Herbert Henry Asquith, who in 1908 traveled to the French city of Biarritz to meet King Edward VII and thus assume the leadership of the Government.

The change in conservative leadership comes after Johnson stepped down last July following the resignations of many members of his government in protest at his management and the scandals that plagued his tenure, such as a party at the official residence at 10 Downing Street during the pandemic.

According to opinion polls, the British Foreign Secretary, Liz Trussis the favorite of Conservative Party members to take over the “tori” leadership.

160,000 members have voted in recent weeks by mail or electronically.

The queen holds weekly audiences with heads of government, which since the start of the pandemic in 2020 have been held mainly by telephone.

Since then, he has spent most of his time at Windsor Castle, 25 miles west of London, only going to Buckingham for major events.

His health has become increasingly apprehensive since last October it emerged that he had spent the night in hospital undergoing medical “tests” of an undetermined nature.

His appearances in public were becoming more and more rare. and he is often seen in them walking with difficulty with a cane.

In June, the United Kingdom celebrated its Platinum Jubilee, the 70th anniversary of the accession to the throne of Elizabeth II, increasingly delegating official functions to her heir, Prince Charles, 73, in style.
