MOSCOW (Sputnik) - UK Queen Elizabeth II will interrupt her holiday in Scotland to instruct her 15th Prime Minister to form a government, the Daily Mail newspaper reported on Sunday, citing sources.
According to the sources, the Queen usually returns from Balmoral Castle in early October, but she will make an exception this year, as she does not expect the new prime minister to travel to Scotland.
The Queen's trip to welcome the new prime minister will not be long, and she will return to Scotland afterwards, the newspaper added.
