Charles III will be formally proclaimed king at a historic ceremony at St James’s Palace on Saturday morning, BBC<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flags lowered in mourning for the late Queen will fly full-mast after the Accession Council, which will be televised for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wave of further proclamations will take place across the UK until Sunday when flags will return to half-mast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes after the King pledged to follow his “darling mama’s” life of service in an emotional first address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told the nation on Friday evening of his “profound sorrow” at the loss of his mother, praising her warmth, humor, and “unerring ability always to see the best in people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The King promised to serve the nation with the same “unswerving devotion” as the late Queen had during her 70-year reign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles became king the moment his mother died, but the Accession Council is held as soon as possible after the death of a sovereign to make a formal proclamation of the successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the council, which starts at 10:00 BST, the King will make a personal declaration about the death of the Queen and make an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland – because in Scotland, there is a division of powers between church and state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those attending will be Camilla, Charles’s wife of 17 years who now has the title of Queen Consort, and the King’s son, William, the new Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first public proclamation is due to take place from the Friar Court balcony of St James’s Palace in London at 11:00, a moment that is usually accompanied by centuries-old pageantry, with trumpeters playing a fanfare and gun salutes fired in Hyde Park and at the Tower of London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
