In early August, Buckingham Palace said it was “business as usual” and that the Queen would go to London on 6 September to accept Johnson’s resignation and appoint a new prime minister.
At the same time, the queen must read the documents sent to her by the government every day.
The queen has made it clear that she will continue to work as her health conditions allow.
But her body wouldn’t allow her to rush back to London. In late August, Buckingham Palace said the Queen would instead appoint a new prime minister at Balmer Castle.
This is the first time that a British monarch has appointed a new prime minister at Balmer Castle since 1885.
A former royal news correspondent for the BBC said: “The Queen remains determined to continue to fulfill her main responsibilities, despite this. The appointment of a new prime minister is not something that can easily be handed over to Prince Charles.”
On September 8, the Queen sent her 14th Prime Minister away and appointed a 15th Prime Minister.

Throughout the morning, the royal staff began making urgent calls to the Queen’s children and grandchildren, asking them to come as soon as possible.
Charles and his wife Camilla lived in Dumfries House, the official residence in Ayrshire, Scotland, so they immediately canceled their trip for the day and rushed to Balmer Castle in the morning to see the queen for the last time.

Wang Husband’s death is a severe blow
In early April 2021, the Queen’s husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, died, which was a major blow to the Queen. After losing her mate who has lived with her for more than 70 years, the queen’s health began to deteriorate considerably.
It has canceled a number of major public events. He only made two public appearances during Daqing, which celebrated his 70th year on the throne. Many events were instead conducted online or other senior royals were represented on his behalf.
In October last year, six months after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen used the cane at an event at Westminster Abbey. This is the first time she has used a cane in recent years.
Furthermore, the media also revealed that the queen is very strong. Her younger sister, Princess Margaret, used a wheelchair when she was very ill in her later years. The queen is very intolerable to use a wheelchair herself, so if she wants to attend public events, she would rather use a cane and walk alone than a wheelchair.
When Parliament opened in May, it sent Prince Charles to read the government’s legislative plan on his behalf for the first time, his first absence from the major event in nearly 60 years.
But at the last minute, the Queen decided to attend a church service in person to commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh in late March. She leaned on a cane and went in and out with the help of her second son, Prince Andrew.
In addition, in mid-May, the Queen also attended the opening ceremony of the Elizabeth Line, a railway line named after the Queen in central London, but it only stayed for about ten minutes. ◇
