Liz Truss has revealed the late Queen’s final words to her in their first and only official meeting.

Queen Elizabeth II is said to have told the then-prime minister: “I’ll see you next week” as they met at Balmoral on September 6 2022, just two days before the monarch’s death.

Some 15 prime ministers led the country during Elizabeth II’s reign, with Ms Truss being the last of them.

The late Queen’s meeting with Ms Truss was her final official engagement, after the South West Norfolk MP was made leader of the Conservative party.

The short-lived prime minister oversaw the period of national mourning which followed the monarch’s death, before she resigned after seven weeks in the job amid the economic fallout of her mini budget.
