In 1957 and again in 1963 the absence of a formal open mechanism within the Conservative Party for choosing a leader meant that following the sudden resignation of Sir Anthony Eden and Harold Macmillan it fell on the Queen to decide whom to commission to form a government.
In both these cases RabButler was passed over, in controversial circumstances in October 1963 when outgoing Prime Minister Harold Macmillan advised the Queen to appoint the Earl of Home instead.
On the third occasion, in February 1974, an inconclusive general election result meant that in theory outgoing prime minister Edward Heath, who had won more of the popular vote, could stay in power if he formed a coalition government with the Liberals.
Churchill appointed Attlee during the Second World War to relieve himself of domestic matters.

Anthony Howard was, on his own admission, a rather surprising biographer for 'Rab' Butler to choose.
A subtle mind like Rab's would easily calculate that that was exactly the kind of background that was likely to yield a biography that did justice to his reputation.
A biography of one Tory by another Tory these days is liable to tell one more about the author's attitude to the present divides within the party than about his subject.
