Johnson's first words to the nation as prime minister could come from the lectern in Downing Street, minutes after being appointed by the Queen in a private meeting at Buckingham Palace. The new PM will be the Queen's fourteenth — Winston Churchill was in power when she took the throne.Members of Johnson's campaign say no one, not even Johnson himself, knows what he will say in his first address to the nation.
The nominee for Commission president, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, will not formally take over the reins until after the U.K.'s official leave date.

He has remained in touch with her“She is an amazing individual with a real passion and understanding of her brief who was a real joy to work with.
