King Charles III proclaimed Britain's new monarch in historic ceremony

King Charles III was on Saturday proclaimed Britain's new monarch in a historic ceremony of the Accession Council that was televised for the first time in history. The throne had passed to the 73-year-old former Prince of Wales following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Thursday and Saturday's ceremony marked his formal declaration and oath taking at St. James's Palace in London. King Charles was joined by his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, and his son and heir Prince William the new Prince of Wales. The King had travelled back from Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Friday, where the Queen's health deteriorated and she breathed her last.

After Queen's death, King Charles hints his reign will offer change of tone

As the United Kingdom mourns a beloved queen, the nation is already wondering how King Charles III will reign and whether his monarchy will depart from the traditions of his mother. If his first full day on the throne is any indication, Charles seemed ready to chart at least a slightly different course. When Charles travelled to Buckingham Palace for the first time as the new king Friday, his limousine snaked through a sea of spectators then stopped short of the palace gates before he got out and shook hands with well-wishers. Charles looked more like a US president on the campaign trail than the latest steward of a 1,000-year-old hereditary monarchy. It's not that Queen Elizabeth II didn't meet her subjects. She did, often. But this felt different a bit less formal, a bit more relaxed. Charles spent almost 10 minutes greeting people pressed up against the crowd-control barriers, smiling, waving, accepting condolences and the occasional bouquet of flowers as the audience broke ou

Formal proceedings to mark instant shift from queen to king's rule in UK

The British monarchy's rules state that a new sovereign succeeds to the throne as soon as his or her predecessor dies. That means Queen Elizabeth II's eldest son, Prince Charles, became king immediately upon her death. However, it may be months or even longer before Charles' formal coronation. In Elizabeth's case, her coronation came on June 2, 1953 -- 16 months after her accession on February 6, 1952, when her father, King George VI, died. A look at the formalities that take place after Charles accedes to the throne: Within 24 hours of a monarch's death, a new sovereign is proclaimed formally as soon as possible at St. James's Palace in London by the Accession Council. This is made up of officials from the Privy Council, which includes senior Cabinet ministers, judges and leaders of the Church of England, who are summoned to the palace for the meeting. Parliament is then recalled for lawmakers to take their oaths of allegiance to the new monarch. The new monarch will swear an o
