King Charles III Meets With New UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in Historic Moment
PM Rishi Sunak Forms His New Cabinet
Rishi Sunaks’ cabinet: Who is in the prime minister’s top team?
BBC News 25 Oct 2022
Tuesday marks a historic day in the United Kingdom. King Charles III received the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Buckingham Palace in London, England, to make the formal request that Sunak form a new administration in his name.
"Mr. Sunak accepted His Majesty's offer and kissed hands upon his appointment as Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury," Buckingham Palace shared in a statement.

Rishi Sunak has begun announcing his cabinet after culling nearly a dozen of Liz Truss's senior ministers on the day he was officially appointed prime minister.
Sunak's first move was to keep Jeremy Hunt as chancellor after he was parachuted in to replace Kwasi Kwarteng following the disastrous mini-budget.
Suella Braverman, a key figure on the right of the Tory party, was brought back as home secretary just days after she was removed by Truss for breaking the ministerial code.
Elsewhere, Boris Johnson allies James Cleverly and Ben Wallace have kept their jobs as foreign secretary and defence secretary.
Sunak's appointments of Johnson supporters and prominent right-wingers suggests he is attempting to unify the party, rather than packing the cabinet with his most loyal allies.
And Michael Gove has returned as levelling up secretary after being sacked from the role by Johnson as his government collapsed in July.
In his first speech as PM outside Number 10 Downing Street, Sunak said he would "fix the mistakes" of Truss's government and bring “integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level”.
Full list of Rishi Sunak's New Cabinet so Far:
Chancellor: Jeremy Hunt
Home Secretary: Suella Braverman
Foreign Secretary: James Cleverly
Health Secretary: Steve Barclay
Defence Secretary: Ben Wallace
Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Sinister: Dominic Raab
