This week, Scott Morrison met the Queen for what Buckingham Palace calls a private audience.
This honour of meeting means the Australian Prime Minister had a chance to have a full uninterrupted conversation with Her Majesty at Windsor Castle.
And what a conversation that turned out to be…
Currently, Morrison is in the UK to attend the G7 leaders’ summit, which was held over the weekend in Cornwall.
On Tuesday, the Aussie PM utilised his UK jaunt to put in some time with the Head of the Commonwealth, The Queen. During their interaction, the Queen said to Morrison: “I didn’t see you, in Cornwall?” Scott quickly replied: “No that was just the G7 members… We’re an extension partner.” He then added: “You were quite the hit… everyone was talking about you at dinner the next night.”
“Oh lord, were they really?” She replied.
He met the Queen second time Scott Morrison – the first time she hosted an audience with him was in 2019 when he brought along his wife Jenny. At that meeting, he gifted Her Majesty a signed copy of Winx: Greatest of All Racehorses, written by Andrew Rule.
The Queen has been busy for some days, also attended a reception for the G7 leaders at The Eden Project on Friday.
On Saturday, she observed the annual Trooping the Colour parade, which was scaled back due to COVID-19 restrictions.
And on Sunday, she met with the President and First Lady of the United States – Joe and Jill Biden, again at Windsor Castle.
