Earlier, former prime minister Liz truss made her way to Buckingham Palace to formally tender her resignation to King Charles III. Outgoing British Prime Minister Liz Truss on Tuesday wished her successor Rishi Sunak "every success" in her final speech on the doorstep of 10 Downing Street in London.

With Rishi Sunak being the prime minister of the United Kingdom, it will be the first time a non-white will occupy the position of head of government in the UK -- a major post in international affairs, since Britain is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council as well as a constituent of the G7 -- the most industrialised countries in the world.
