Queen won't return to London to appoint new PM, for first time in her reign

Queen Elizabeth II will remain at Balmoral in Scotland to receive the UK's next prime minister instead of returning to Buckingham Palace in London -- a first in her 70-year reign

London Queen Elizabeth II will receive the UK's next prime minister at Balmoral rather than Buckingham Palace -- a historic first for her 70-year reign.

A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said the 96-year-old monarch will not be making the 1,000-mile round trip from Scotland and instead the outgoing leader Boris Johnson will travel north from London on September 6, followed by an audience with his successor. The decision was taken for the audiences to take place at Balmoral in order to provide certainty for the Prime Minister's diary, a royal source told CNN.
