King Charles could surpass his mother’s record if pattern of leadership change continues in UK?
Britain's King Charles III is set to invite Andy Burnham to form new government
King Charles III is set to invite Andy Burnham to form a government on Monday. It will mark the third occasion the king has performed this constitutional duty since ascending to the throne.
Burnham will become the fourth prime minister to serve under Charles. Commenting on the development, GB News wrote it is “a remarkable pace of leadership change in a nation where governments typically hold power for up to five years.”
“Should this pattern continue, the King could surpass Queen Elizabeth II's record of 15 Prime Ministers by 2037,” according to the news outlet.
Andy Burnham, nicknamed the "King of the North", was elected leader of Britain's governing Labour Party on Friday, the final step before becoming its seventh prime minister in a decade on a pledge to thwart the rise of the populist Reform UK.
Burnham, who earned the regal moniker for his determination as mayor of Greater Manchester to defend the region's interests, told a special conference on Friday he was ready for power and would work to offer hope to people in "forgotten places everywhere".
