Queen Elizabeth II is to become the first monarch since Queen Victoria to attend a Cabinet meeting in Downing Street.<\/h1>\n

Number 10 has revealed that Queen Elizabeth II will observe the ministers’ meeting on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

It is expected that she will sit next to Prime Minister David Cameron for the summit, which is the last before the Christmas break.<\/p>\n

She is not due to stay for the whole session – likely to last around 90 minutes – and will instead watch for around half an hour.<\/p>\n

It is also understood that Prince Philip will not accompany her.<\/p>\n

Mr Cameron announced the unusual move on Twitter, writing: “The Queen will visit Downing Street tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“She will be presented with a gift to mark her Diamond Jubilee and attend Cabinet as an observer.”<\/p>\n

Downing Street refused to give any details about the gift the Queen will receive during what it described as a “long-planned” visit.<\/p>\n

But a spokesman said: “I think she will sit round the table and I think she will sit alongside the Prime Minister.”<\/p>\n

Energy Secretary Ed Davey told \u00a0“It is a great honour that she is attending Cabinet in her Diamond Jubilee year.<\/p>\n

“It has been a very exciting year. Ministers will be excited but minding their Ps and Q’s even more than normal.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
