Liz Truss' first weekly audience with the King saw the return of her unique curtsy as King Charles muttered: "Back again? Dear, oh dear." Footage of the awkward exchange at Buckingham Palace involved Truss entering the room and giving her now trademark half-curtsy-half bow, as she extended her arm in greeting.
Ms Truss was heard to say: “It’s a great pleasure.” The pair shook hands in the Audience Room where the monarch discusses Government matters with the prime minister.
The pair appeared to be engaged in light conversation in a meeting that occurred shortly after Ms Truss faced a contentious Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) in Parliament. She insisted she will not cut spending to balance the books as economists and the financial markets continued to question her plans.
