The Queen to appoint new Prime Minister in Scotland for first time in her reign
The Queen will welcome the new Prime Minister at Balmoral instead of travelling down to London, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson has said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson will meet the monarch at her Aberdeenshire home on Tuesday, September 6, where he will officially tender his resignation. Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss will then travel to Scotland on the same day for an audience with the Queen.
It is understood the decision was taken at this stage in order to provide certainty for the Prime Minister 's diary. If the Queen had experienced an episodic mobility issue next week and the plan had been to travel to London or Windsor, it would have led to alternative arrangements at the last minute.
Throughout her 70 years on the throne the Queen has appointed every new Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace, as is tradition. The new PM and Conservative Party leader will be announced on Monday, September 5.
Buckingham Palace has previously announced Her Majesty would interrupt her summer holiday to Scotland to greet the new Prime Minister after they move into Downing Street.

She told Edinburgh Live : "It started with me having really swollen legs but I was walking 80 miles a week so I thought it was the walking. I had also been to the doctor with what I thought was UTI – it just felt uncomfortable."

As the pair firmly believe in a more traditional, or historic, type of family, Holly Joyce abides by 'what he says goes' when it comes to traveller husband Dougie, 34.
The 27-year-old met Dougie on Instagram in September 2019 and what started out as a few likes soon turned into direct messages before they agreed to meet in March 2020 at San Carlo's restaurant in Manchester.
After just a few hours, Dougie said he knew he would "marry this woman", the Mirror reports.
While Dougie has had previous relationships with women outside the traveller community, Holly had never dated a traveller before him.
