King Charles has officially appointed Sir Keir Starmer as the new Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury. This major political shift follows a decisive general election victory for the Labour Party, marking the end of 14 years of Conservative leadership.
The announcement was made after a key meeting between King Charles and Sir Keir Starmer at Buckingham Palace, which was documented and shared across the royal family's social media platforms. Accompanying the image of their meeting, the palace released a statement confirming that Sir Keir accepted the King’s invitation to form a new government.
The change in leadership comes at a crucial time, as the former Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, announced his resignation acknowledging the Conservative Party's significant defeat. In his farewell speech, Sunak expressed remorse for the election outcome, taking responsibility for the public's dissatisfaction.
Sir Keir Starmer is set to deliver his inaugural address outside Downing Street, ushering in a new era of governance under his leadership.
