Queen Elizabeth II will appoint a new Prime Minister at Balmoral instead of Buckingham Palace. A correspondent reportedly stated that the monarch “still has tenacious determination” following the decision to break tradition.

Express UK said the statement was from Sarah Greenhalgh, who recently covered the matter outside the Palace for 7news. As noted, she discussed the surprising move to appoint a new PM in Scotland, which marks the first for the Queen in her seven-decade reign.

The correspondent reportedly recalled that the public last saw the British Monarch six weeks ago. She stated that it was when the royal was spotted at Aberdeen airport, “heading off on her traditional summer break at Balmoral,” on July 21.

Speaking about the appointment of the new Prime Minister, Greenhalgh reportedly claimed that the move shows Queen Elizabeth II “still has this tenacious determination to carry out her constitutional duties.” She is said to have added that the monarch is “still appointing this Prime Minister, it’s just happening in a different location.”

Later in the coverage, the correspondent is claimed to have shared some of her “hopes” for the British Monarch.

The outlet quoted Greenhalgh, reportedly saying, “Hopefully, once she gets these official duties out of the way on Tuesday, she can go back to having a rest, and a break, at Balmoral, where she has also been visited by members of the family.”

On Wednesday, a Palace spokesperson announced that Queen Elizabeth II would meet the outgoing and incoming Prime Ministers at Balmoral on September 6. As added, she will have an audience with the new leader shortly after meeting with Boris Johnson.

Reuters said that the move, which breaks from the tradition, wherein the British Monarch appoints the new Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace in London, is due to the royal’s “mobility issues.”

It later noted that, per a palace source, the decision to do the appointment at Balmoral in Scotland would provide certainty for the new leader’s diary and avoid last-minute changes in case the 96-year-old royal experiences mobility issues.

Queen Elizabeth II has worked with 14 Prime Ministers in her 70 years of reign. People previously released a rundown of all the leaders who held the position, including the current PM, Boris Johnson.

Winston Churchill was the first as he was in position when the royal ascended the British Throne in 1952.

Among the 14 leaders, only two are women, with Margaret Thatcher as the first-ever woman to serve as a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. She was also the longest-serving PM of the 20th century.
