Charles has formally been confirmed as the new King.
The nation’s new monarch King Charles III has been formally declared head of state during a historic ceremony televised for the first time.
The new monarch became King the moment his mother died, but an Accession Council must be convened following the death of a sovereign – usually within 24 hours. Reading the text of the proclamation, the clerk of the council said:"Whereas it has pleased almighty God to call to his mercy our late Sovereign lady Queen Elizabeth II of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George.
"Four - directing the Lord Mayor the court of alderman and commons of London to attend at the Royal Exchange to proclaim His Majesty King Charles III." "And that such overwhelming affection and support should be extended to our whole family in our loss." "Eight - directing the clerk of the Council to issue circular letters for causing His Majesty King Charles III to be proclaimed."
