“Prime Minister, Your Majesty,” announced the horse.
Miss Truss steps forward to shake hands with the King, bowing as she does so.
“Your majesty, it is good to see you again,” she says.
Charles, smiling, replies, “Again?”
Mrs. Truss adds, “Well, it’s a great pleasure.”
The king replies, “Dear, oh dear. Anyway.”
It came after Ms Truss faced Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament, where she insisted she would not cut spending to balance the books as economists and financial markets continued to question her plans.
Mrs Truss told MPs she had “absolutely” no plans to cut public spending but insisted taxpayers’ money would be put to good use.
