THE Queen has today hosted Boris Johnson at Buckingham Palace for the first time since the start of the Covid pandemic in March last year.
Her Majesty welcomed the Prime Minister at the royal residence for his weekly audience with her.
Their meetings have been held remotely since March because of coronavirus restrictions.
The pair were seen together at the G7 summit in Cornwall earlier this morning when Her Maj charmed world leaders.
Joe and Jill Biden and Emmanuel Macron were left chuckling at the Queen’s quips at the Eden Project indoor rainforest in Cornwall.
As they posed for a socially distanced group photo, the 95-year-old monarch asked the question possibly on all their minds.
She said: “Are you supposed to be looking as if you’re enjoying yourself?”
The presidents and prime ministers alongside her could not help bursting into laughter, as Boris replied emphatically: “Yes!”
The Queen hosted an open-air reception at the Eden Project in Cornwall and was joined by the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
But today’s meeting is the first time both Boris and the Queen have sat down for their weekly meeting together for 15 months.
