Balmoral

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has announced that he will be representing his country at the funeral of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 19.

"I will visit the U.K. capital, London, on Monday and participate [in the funeral of the Queen] as a representative of Türkiye," he said on Sept. 14.

King Charles III, along with his siblings, attended a vigil at St Giles' Cathedral yesterday, during which Edinburgh residents could enter and pay their respects to the late queen, Reuters reports.

Crowds in Buckingham, Balmoral, and Windsor as Queen’s coffin slowly makes the six-hour journey across beloved Scotland

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II embarks on her final journey on Sunday with thousands of her mourning subjects expected to line her coffin's route from the Scottish retreat where she died.

The solemn departure of the queen's oak casket from Balmoral Castle for Edinburgh marks the start of an odyssey of national mourning culminating in her state funeral in London on September 19.

British Prince Charles and his son Prince William traveled urgently to Queen Elizabeth II's castle residence in Scotland. The Prince of Wales traveled to Balmoral with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, a spokesman for his royal residence said.
Kensington Palace confirmed that Prince William also traveled to Balmoral.

After that, Johnson goes to Scotland to formally offer his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II. Johnson, who announced his intention to resign two months ago, is expected to meet the Queen during the day today at her Balmoral estate to begin the handover to Liz Truss, who was named leader of the ruling Conservative Party on Monday.

Liz Truss became Britain's next prime minister on Tuesday after meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, who asked her to form a new government as the country faces an acute cost-of-living crisis.

Truss, 47, took office in the carefully choreographed ceremony with the monarch a day after the ruling Conservative Party announced that Truss was elected as its leader.

Liz Truss will be the UK's new prime minister after beating Rishi Sunak in the race to lead the Conservative Party.
Truss, who will become prime minister when Queen Elizabeth II invites her to form a new government at a reception at Balmoral Castle in Scotland tomorrow, defeated former finance minister Rishi Sunak in an intra-party vote.

Queen Elizabeth II turned down a prize celebrating the elderly, assessing that at 95 she did not meet the criteria, The Oldie magazine said on Oct. 19.

The publication wrote to palace officials in July to ask if she would accept its Oldie of the Year award, which was previously given to her late husband and her own mother.

Britain celebrated Queen Elizabeth II becoming the country's longest-serving monarch on Sept.9 with a flotilla down the River Thames, a gun salute and the peal of Westminster Abbey's bells.
