“It is not mandatory, but the prime minister believes it is vital to be present at what is a profound moment of national sorrow throughout the United Kingdom,” the spokeswoman added.
On Friday, the monarch hosted the first of what will be weekly meetings with Ms. Truss.
During the audience, the King revealed to Ms. Truss that the death of the Queen was an event he had “dreaded.”
