King Charles says ‘back again, dear, oh dear’ to Liz Truss as pair meet for second time in resurfaced video

King Charles III muttered “back again, dear, oh dear” as he met with Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday, 12 October, just over a week before the prime minister tendered her resignation.

Footage taken at the beginning of their weekly audience shows the prime minister courtesy as she enters the room, before saying: “Your Majesty, great to see you again”.

In response, the King smiles and says “Back again? Dear, oh dear. Anyway.”

Ms Truss informed the King on Thursday, 20 October, that she was resigning as Tory leader.
