A former British prime minister has revealed she ignored Queen Elizabeth II's advice to slow down, warning the time in office was"incredibly ageing".Former British prime minister Liz Truss has revealed in her new memoir she ignored sage advice from the former monarch.
"She was completely attuned to everything that was happening, as well as being typically sharp and witty,” Ms Truss wrote. "We left with Her Majesty telling me she looked forward to our speaking again next week. I had no idea this meeting would be both our last and her final formal engagement as monarch."Ms Truss wrote in her introduction the late Queen seemed to have"grown frailer" over the previous year, but was"evidently still determined" to carry out her constitutional duty of appointing her as PM in person, as she had done 13 time before.
Ms Truss wrote the Queen had been the"rock on which modern Britain was built" and Her Majesty had been an inspiration to her. "The big difference, of course, was that he had a lifetime’s preparation, with decades of public service already under his belt."
