“My whole life, whether it be short or long, will be devoted to your service.” Queen Elizabeth II, then Princess Elizabeth, had said this on her 21st birthday in 1947 on the radio-- a promise made to Britain and the Commonwealth nations which she kept until her death on September 8, 2022. She was 96.

"Her Majesty asked her to form a new Administration. Ms. Truss accepted Her Majesty's offer and was appointed Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury," read an announcement by the Royal Family.
