As Britain’s new monarch was formally announced at St James’s Palace in London today, King Charles III made a personal statement on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. He vowed to uphold constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony, and prosperity of the peoples of these islands and the Commonwealth realms and territories throughout the world.
Charles automatically became Sovereign at the death of his mother at the time of 96 on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle, but the Accession Council – an old council of advisors dating back to the Norman Conquest – has publicly announced his function as Head of State today.
The historic event was open to broadcast cameras, providing the world with its first look of an old ceremonial stretching back generations. This was one of the first deviations from tradition instituted by the new king.
Yesterday, Buckingham Palace declared that a period of royal mourning will be followed until seven days following the Queen’s funeral in order to commemorate the magnificent reign of Elizabeth II.
The new king declared his intention to observe a week-long period of royal mourning until his mother’s funeral, the specifics of which have yet to be published.
All members of the royal family, household workers, and representatives of the royal household on official tasks will observe the period. Additionally, troops assigned to ceremonial responsibilities are expected to observe.
