“I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.”
King Charles III made his first official address as sovereign on Friday, in a pre-recorded video broadcast.
The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. And, as to every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people. I pay tribute to my mother’s memory and I honour her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all.
The role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England — the church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted. In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.
This is also a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla. In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort. 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.
