Outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May formally tendered her resignation to Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday as her successor Boris Johnson prepares to take over.


May arrived at the palace after earlier urging Johnson to deliver Brexit “in a way that works for the whole United Kingdom”

Shortly afterwards, the Queen received in audience Boris Johnson and requested him to form a new Administration.

Johnson accepted Her Majesty's offer and kissed her hands upon his appointment as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury.
