One throne, twelve prime ministers, zero missed Tuesdays — the ultimate power tea.
...Every Tuesday, at six o'clock in the evening, the Queen of Great Britain gives an audience to the Prime Minister. No one and nothing obliges them to participate in this ritual, but according to the rules of good form, the Prime minister must inform his monarch about events in the country and the world. For six and a half decades, many politicians have replaced each other in the chair of the head of the cabinet, from Sir Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May, the world has changed beyond recognition. Only one thing remains unshakable – the report of the Prime minister, whoever it is, is received by Queen Elizabeth II, who has occupied the British throne for the longest time in history.
