King Charles speech

King Charles III gave his first public speech after taking the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

He focused on the important role two women had played already in his life, his mother and his wife, but also how the latter, Camilla, would continue to support him during this moment and the years to come. The new king insisted that a primary part of his mission as monarch would be to provide a form of consistency in matters both temporal and spiritual, in the way he said his mother had done, despite huge social, political and cultural changes across Britain over the last seven decades. "This important work will go on in the trusted hands of others," he said.

KING CHARLES III paid tribute to the late Queen as he was formally declared head of state in a historic ceremony.

Charles was proclaimed to the nation as new head of state on Saturday morning during a meeting of the Accession Council attended by privy councillors at St James's Palace in London, which was televised for the first time. "And in carrying out the heavy task that has been laid upon me, and to which I now dedicate what remains to me of my life, I pray for the guidance and help of Almighty God." "In this purpose, I know that I shall be upheld by the affection and loyalty of the peoples whose sovereign I have been called upon to be, and that in the discharge of these duties I will be guided by the counsel of their elected parliaments."

“To my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you,” he had said a few minutes before. “I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he said Saturday in a personal address to his privy council. “Am I done?” the king asked quietly as he rose.

King Charles III spoke to the public on Friday in a televised address as the new monarch, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96.

And in the most rare of circumstances, the ability to handcuff a document pouch to a messenger to transport the nation's secrets. One of the many legacies left by Queen Elizabeth II is an illustration of how clothes can rally a nation. Although Apple announced that the upcoming iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models in the U.S. I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much. In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. "As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. "I pay tribute to my mother's memory and I honour her life of service. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. Her dedication and devotion as sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss.
