Following Penny Mordaunt's departure from the leadership race, Rishi Sunak will now become Prime Minister.
However, the appointment is not automatic, at least not officially. Before being brought in as the next leader of the country, Mr Sunak and his predecessor Liz Truss have to jump through a few constitutional hoops.
Firstly, Ms Truss needs to meet with King Charles and inform him in person that she is going to resign. Following this, Mr Sunak will also have to meet the King where he will then be asked to form a government under the Royal name.
