The biggest crisis in British history awaits him… Charles III is officially declared king

Charles has proclaimed king on Saturday morning from the balcony of St James’s Palace in a state ceremony, two days after the death of his mother Elizabeth II and as the country entered a period of national mourning.

On Friday evening, for the first time in 70 years, the British national anthem was played in the form of “God Save the King” at St Paul’s Cathedral at the conclusion of a religious ceremony in honor of Elizabeth II.

This anthem replaced the “God Save the Queen” adopted since the late queen’s accession to the throne in 1952.

Prior to that, Charles III went from Buckingham Palace for the first time to his countrymen as king in a recorded televised speech praising his beloved mother, who died at the age of 96 after a reign of 70 years and seven months.

He described Elizabeth II as “an inspiration and an example” to him and his family.

Charles promised to be in the service of the British throughout his life, just like his mother, who made this vow when she was twenty-one”.

Like the Queen, who has done so with steadfast dedication, I also solemnly pledge now for as long as the Lord gives me, to defend the constitutional principles that are at the heart of our nation,” he asserted, confidently.

On Saturday morning, the “Throne Council”, a group of notables from the royal family, political and religious figures, including the king’s wife, Camilla, son William, Prime Minister Liz Truss and the Archbishop of Canterbury, will meet at St James’s Palace to officially declare Charles king.

The ceremony will be broadcast live on television for the first time.

The announcement will be read from the balcony of the palace and then in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Parliament then declares allegiance to the new king and offers its condolences on the death of the Queen.

In the afternoon, the new King receives the Prime Minister and key ministers.

Charles III ascends the throne as the country is going through a difficult period with the worst economic crisis in the United Kingdom in 40 years.

Four prime ministers took over the presidency in six years.

Charles, 73, became the oldest monarch upon his accession to the throne of the United Kingdom.

Charles III lacks the popularity of his mother, who has managed to preserve the prestige of the royal family by reluctance to give interviews and not reveal her opinions.

Nevertheless, the crowds gathered in front of Buckingham Palace on Friday afternoon gave the new king a warm welcome upon his return from Scotland.

He and his wife, Camilla, shook hands with dozens of people who gathered behind iron barriers in front of the palace.

Thousands of people have flocked to the venue since the Queen’s death was announced to lay bouquets and messages of condolence.

Elizabeth II died Thursday quietly at Balmoral Palace in Scotland, surrounded by her son Charles and daughter Anne.

Her other two sons, Andrew Edwards, heir-to-the-throne Prince William, and then Prince Harry, arrived after her death.

The king announced that the royal mourning period, which includes the royal family and its workers, will continue for seven days after the funeral, the date of which has not yet been set.

The royal circuits will remain closed until the funeral, while the flags are lowered.

The national mourning announced by the government will continue until the day of the funeral.

The Queen will be buried in a private ceremony in the chapel of Windsor Castle.

And thousands of Britons came with great emotion to lay bouquets of flowers in front of Buckingham Palace, Windsor and Balmoral in northern Scotland.

Advertisements were replaced by pictures of the late queen at bus stops, while mourning records were opened in some churches and online through the royal family’s official website.
