The King then continues to tell the Prime Minister his mother’s death was “the moment he’d been dreading.”

“It’s the moment I’ve been dreading, as I know a lot of people have, but you try and keep everything going,” The King said through a smile.

The new British head of state then proceeded to invite Prime Minister Truss to sit down with him.

The PM was among the first to pay respects to the Royal Family on Thursday, saying “we’re all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral.”

“The death of Her Majesty The Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world,” said Ms Truss.

“Queen Elizabeth II was a rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and flourished under her reign.

“Britain is the great country it is today because of her.”

Prime Minister Truss met Queen Elizabeth II just two days prior to her death before being sworn in as the country’s new PM.

Queen Elizabeth greets newly elected leader of the Conservative party Liz Truss as she arrives at Balmoral Castle for an audience where she will be invited to become Prime Minister and form a new government.

Her Majesty met Ms Truss at her Balmoral estate in Scotland because of concerns she would have been uncomfortable making the trip down to Buckingham Palace.

The Queen had not been seen in public since late July, when she passed through Aberdeen Airport on her way to Balmoral.

Her mobility issues seemed evident as she met Ms Truss, using her trusty cane to help as she stood up to shake hands with the new PM.

She also appeared to have a bruise on her right hand.

The 96-year-old sovereign also appeared to be slightly hunched over as she met Ms Truss, 47.

The difference in her posture was noticeable when compared to the official photos of the last two times she met new Prime Ministers.
