UK appoints Lord Home as new Prime Minister

A new Prime Minister, Lord Hume, takes office at No. 10 Downing Street after a power struggle within the Conservative Party. Despite being a leading contender, Lord Halesham and R. A. Butler were not chosen. Lord Hume, previously Britain's Foreign Secretary, was appointed by Queen Elizabeth following Macmillan's resignation due to health issues. The Queen's visit to Macmillan marked a rare royal intervention. Lord Hume faces internal and external challenges as he forms a cabinet, with his former opponents agreeing to serve under him.
