perezhilton.com:

Queen Elizabeth made her last royal engagement just days before her sudden death. As you know, the long-reigning monarch died “peacefully” at 96 years old at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Thursday.

Her tragic passing came after Elizabeth scaled back on her royal commitments over the past year due to her health. However, it seemed like the queen was determined to complete one of her duties as queen before her death – formally appointing a new prime minister.

A source explained to People that they scheduled the meeting in Scotland instead of London due to her episodic mobility issues, and they didn’t want to impact Liz or outgoing prime minister Boris Johnson’s schedules.

During the meeting, Elizabeth took a moment to grab some photos shaking hands with the 47-year-old politician while she held onto a cane.
