It Is Formally Confirmed That Charles Is The King Of England

The country will watch the new King being formally declared monarch as the ceremony is televised for the first time.

Today was the first time in history that the Accession Council in the State Apartments of St Jame’s Palace would be broadcast, and it began at 10 am.

A Principal Proclamation is then read in public from the balcony overlooking Friary Court at St James’s an hour later, and it’s read by the Garter King of Arms.

It’s followed by proclamations around the country, with the second one in the City of London at the Royal Exchange at noon, and further proclamations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales at midday tomorrow.

Buckingham Palace issued details of the arrangements, and it was confirmed cameras would be permitted inside the State Apartments to capture the proceedings for the first time.

In honour of the new King, union flags will be flown at full mast from the time of the Principal Proclamation until one hour after the proclamations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, then they will be returned to half-mast to mourn the death of the Queen.

Charles automatically became King after the death of his mother, but the Accession Council is usually called at St James’s in London within 24 hours of the death of a ruler.

It’s being orchestrated a day later for King Charles III because the announcement of the Queen’s death didn’t come until Thursday evening, meaning that there wasn’t enough time to put the plans in motion for Friday morning.

The Palace said that his Majesty The King would be proclaimed at the Accession Council at 10.00hrs on 10th September in the State Apartments of St James’s Palace, London and that the Accession Council would be attended by Privy Councillors and would be split into two parts.

This means that in Part I, the Privy Council, without the King present, would proclaim the Sovereign, and formally approve various powerful Orders, including the arrangments for the Proclamation.

Part II is the holding by The King of His Majesty’s first Privy Council. The King will make his Declaration and read and sign an oath to uphold the security of the Church in Scotland and approve Orders in Council which facilitate continuity of government.

Historically, the entire Privy Council is called to the Accession Council, but there are presently more than 700 privy counsellors who are primarily serving or former politicians, although Camilla, the new Queen, and Prince William are counsellors and are expected to attend.

This is bittersweet, although King Charles’s accession to the throne is welcoming and should be celebrated, but of course, in everyone’s heart, we will all still be thinking of The Queen who has just died.

Charles knew that he would grow up and one day become King, but it’s still extremely sad that the Queen has passed away, instead of withdrawing from her official duties so that she could hand it over to her son and just be by his side to support him as King, but the Queen was never going to abdicate because she vowed she would serve her country until the day she died and that’s what she did.

Of course, Charles didn’t have to keep his name, he could have used his other names, George or Arthur, then he would have been known as King Arthur and his wife could have become Camillalot.

However, there actually was no need for this ceremony to be on television, and it should have been held in private because King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family are in mourning, but now he has to perform for the rest of the world like a performing monkey, and let’s face it, the rest of the country have to put up with cancellations of all kinds, yet this is allowed, it’s disgraceful.
