LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s Queen Elizabeth has postponed a meeting of her Privy Council advisers which was due to take place on Wednesday after being advised by doctors to rest, Buckingham Palace said.
The 96-year-old monarch, who is at her Balmoral Castle in Scotland, met with Liz Truss on Tuesday to appoint her the new prime minister after she received Boris Johnson to accept his resignation.
“After a full day yesterday, Her Majesty has this afternoon accepted doctors’ advice to rest. This means that the Privy Council meeting that had been due to take place this evening will be rearranged,” a spokesperson said.
