Queen Elizabeth II left some important advice to one of her Prime Ministers, it has been revealed.
Liz Truss, 48, has written a new memoir and referenced the advice she was given by Queen Elizabeth II during their historic meeting in September 2022.
This meeting was held to confirm Truss as Britain’s new Prime Minister, the 15th and final leader serving under the late monarch.
According to Truss, Queen Elizabeth II told her: “Pace yourself."

This was a suggestion that Truss admitted she failed to follow after the Queen died.
As a result, Truss was left unsure whether or not she could cope with her new role.
Truss was later ejected from office 49 days after succeeding Boris Johnson.
She ended her time as Prime Minister as the shortest-serving leader in British political history.

Writing in her memoir about the late Queen's advice, she said: “Maybe I should have listened.”
Replaced in Downing Street by Rishi Sunak, Truss still sits as an MP for South West Norfolk.
Her book, Ten Years To Save The West, will be published in the US and UK next week.
Truss was Queen Elizabeth II's final Prime Minister and appeared with the former monarch in her last ever official photograph before her death.

During her historic meeting with the late Queen at Balmoral in Scotland in September 2022, Truss said the 96-year-old monarch “seemed to have grown frailer”.
She wrote: “We spent around 20 minutes discussing politics. She was completely attuned to everything that was happening, as well as being typically sharp and witty.
"Towards the end of our discussion, she warned me that being Prime Minister is incredibly ageing.
"She also gave me two words of advice: ‘Pace yourself.’ Maybe I should have listened.”
