The last official act of EIIR?

Two Elizabeths.

Serving her kingdom to the end.

One of the late Queen Elizabeth’s official acts was inviting the newly elected Conservative Prime Minister, Elizabeth “Liz” Truss to Balmoral and ask her to form a new government. Protocol forbids the monarch taking sides in politics, but this writer likes to believe HM the Queen was greatly pleased with PM Truss. Certainly that smile on her face in the photo above is hardly pasted on.

Mere speculation, fantasy perhaps, but your Tatler wonders if the late Queen was able to push death away just long enough to see to it a solid and competent conservative, who many compare with the late Mrs Thatcher, put back into No. 10.

The Tatler of 1709 was founded by Jonathan Swift, aka Isaac Bickerstaff. The Taos Tatler was founded by ex-New Yorker Anthony Fountain in 2018, in the same spirit, he hopes, as the original. Please send mail to taostatler@gmail.com.
