When King Charles formally appointed Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, it was a historic moment for the new monarch. The memorable moment was the first time that King Charles has had to carry out the sovereign's duty of appointing a head of the government - and it came just seven weeks into his reign.
Pictures showed Charles and Mr Sunak shaking hands in Buckingham Palace yesterday - just minutes after former PM Liz Truss formally tendered her resignation, writes The Mirror. It echoed scenes played out just last month, when, in her final duties as monarch, the late Queen formally appointed Ms Truss after accepting the resignation of Boris Johnson.
However, it appears that Charles broke one of his mother's long-standing traditions when it came to her Prime Ministers during his appointment of Mr Sunak. Over the years when meeting PMs at Buckingham Palace, the late Queen would nearly always meet them in the audience room - a room filled with cosy furniture and family pictures.
However, yesterday, Charles opted to meet Mr Sunak in the 1844 Room at the palace, which the King has also used to meet dignitaries in the first few weeks of his reign. Remarking on the reason for the change, Dr Nigel Fletcher, a political historian at King’s College London told The Telegraph : "His Majesty chose the 1844 room for the meeting instead of the late Queen’s audience room on the first floor.
"I would imagine the King’s use of the 1844 room, where he now seems to hold all his audiences, reflects the fact the audience room was part of his late mother’s private apartments." Earlier this month, it was reported that Charles may never live at Buckingham Palace as his move to the monarch's official residence has been put on hold.
