After 1781 is for the first time the British Monarch attended a cabinet meeting in 10 Downing Street, London as a participant in the capacity of a listener and observer without taking part in deliberations. This happened on Tuesday, December 18, 2012. There has been an exception of course during World War II when her father George VI attended a similar cabinet meeting. This event also has been arranged as a special occasion during the Diamond Jubilee of her ascension to the throne.
At times, though rarely, conventions are broken and new trends are set for the working of the world’s oldest Parliamentary democracy. One should hail the British Monarch on this occasion!
