Robert Peel, often called the " model Prime Minister ", was the first to recognise this new role.
After the successful Conservative campaign of 1841, J. W. Croker said in a letter to Peel, " The elections are wonderful, and the curiosity is that all turns on the name of Sir Robert Peel.
' It's the first time that I remember in our history that the people have chosen the first Minister for the Sovereign.
