‘God save the King’: King Charles III officially proclaimed Britain’s new monarch

King Charles was officially proclaimed as Britain’s new monarch on Saturday at a ceremony in St James’s Palace where former prime ministers, bishops and a host of politicians shouted ‘God save the King’.

The accession council ceremony held at the official residence of the sovereign in London was televised for the first time ever. Charles, 73, immediately succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth when she died on Thursday but the council met on Saturday to proclaim his succession, with his son and heir William, wife Camilla and Liz Truss among those to sign the proclamation.

I still remember when the queen mother was alive and Queen Elizabeth II still had dark hair…now she’s gone and a new monarch is declared. Incredible to be alive seeing these series that are now part of history.

I was truly believed Her Majesty The Queen would at least pass 100 years old...

Honestly, I didn't think it could happen. It seemed that Elizabeth would rule forever. But, unfortunately, such a fate awaits everyone, it has always been like this, and the Queen is no exception. Of course it's a pity. On this day, everyone mourns, even the Russians, including me. Hello to all those who read this comment. Rest in peace, Your Majesty.

I guess now we say "The King's English" when talking about language. An impressively eloquent speech by Charles III

[DeepMeditationMusic]

Rest in peace our beloved, beautiful and kind-hearted Queen. You will always be loved and missed.

Man, can't believe that I am experiencing a history moment

[atuema]

It’s striking that we’re seeing something like this in 2022.

Congratulations and best wishes to King Charles III. Love, great respect, admiration and pray from Indonesia

Congratulations and best wishes to the new king. Preserve history and heritage. In today's complex world situation, show your wisdom and intelligence and work with dedication for the peace of humanity and the welfare of the people. As much as the turmoil in the human society is removed, the human society will be liberated. Let's erase the pain of the past and let their lives be filled with happiness. Wishes and congratulations to the king again.

Since we do have a monarchy I hope King Charles do everything he can to help in conservation of the environment since we know it’s like his #1 priority

[mattmccaughen]

Still makes me cry to think she's gone 😓

[WafiLeCool]

Losing a dad is difficult now his mom also gone. King Charles III really gotta suffered through harsh time

[agenttheater]

Been a whole life time for most people since the last time someone was officially declared Britain's new monarch. Strange to think about.

[ammarahsan]

Well, since His Highness is in his 70s, we'll be seeing this again in 20 years.

[raninazreen]

I think it’s the first time I saw him broken, and I was never a fan but he has his mom with him in every step, and now that protection has gone. I wish him all the best for this future that he has been given a big duty and responsibility. He was preparing for this tile for his whole lifetime

[FandubWorld]

I actually had high hopes that Queen Elizabeth would love to see her 100th birthday, but she did really well for her age. I don't think we will ever have another king or queen who will reach 50 years on the throne let alone 70. Now she's reunited with Phillip <3

As an American, I am unable to truly understand what the Monarchy means to the citizens of Britain and the various commonwealth domains. However, I do understand the feeling of losing those we love most, be it mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, beloved family of all types. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole of Britain and beyond, as well as the Royal Family. May Her Majesty rest in peace and be remembered with fondness by those who loved her.

Can't believe the Queen is no more 😪 RIP 🙏

[nitac.]

Probably won't see this again in my lifetime.
Long live the King

[klsar]

Send him victorious, happy and glorious, long reign all over us.
