Two years after becoming the longest reigning person in history, British sovereignty surpassed the world’s longest reigning monarch this June, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, who died in 2016.

The last record the British monarch broke before he died was this Tuesday, when he received the third prime minister of his conservative government Liz Truss. In total, Elizabeth II entrusted the task of forming the government to 15 prime ministers, and before Truss, two more women were Margaret Thatcher And Teresa May —both also from the Conservative Party.

This week’s meeting is making history for another reason: the meeting place. Traditionally, this reception takes place in Buckingham Palace, in London. However, this time the setting is Balmoral Castle, in Scotland, where the sultan is spending his holidays.

May was tasked by the Queen with forming a government in July 2016, but due to infighting within her own party over the details of the Brexit deal, particularly trade and border issues with Ireland, the prime minister resigned.

Liz Truss

Following another internal feud within the UK Conservative Party, and the resignation of another Prime Minister (Boris Johnson), the last woman to arrive in Downing Street was Liz Truss, referred to by some as “new tacher”.
