Prime Minister Liz Truss awkwardly mistaken for 'minor royal' at Queen's funeral

Newly-appointed Prime Minister Liz Truss was awkwardly mistaken for a 'minor royal' before she delivered an emotive reading at Queen Elizabeth's funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday.

Truss, 49, was announced as the new Prime Minister on September 6, following on from Boris Johnson's three-year reign, and just two days into her new leader role, the Queen's untimely death sent shockwaves across the world.
