King Charles III: the first 24 hours of a new monarch

Prince Charles, next in line to the throne for seven decades, has become King Charles III after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

In an emotional address the day after the death of his mother, the new king pledged to serve the country ‘with loyalty, respect and love’ – adding a personal tribute to the Queen: ‘May “flights of angels sing thee to thy rest”.’ Here is a look back at his first 24 hours as king

Best wishes for the King, may he reign with such great dignity the Queen has had throughout her long life.

I miss her so much even though I didn't know her personally. A massive hole is left in the heart of our nation, the commonwealth and other realms around the world. Thank you for everything 🇬🇧🕊️🖤

In the space of a day he has shown more integrity and diplomacy than the entire Tory party have in the last two years.

My deepest condolences to a family in mourning. Any bereavement is painful, to have to partake in public speeches only hours after loosing a parent must have been so difficult. Respect. 💜

When you realize that you’ve gotta start working at 73 years old…

I'm 69. The Queen has been the Queen since before I was born. No doubt I'll come to terms with her absence eventually, but it won't be easy.

I would watch the funeral but my electric is about to be cut off.

[xAlkalinaGacha]

I miss her so much, when she died, I didn’t know she died, I just saw pictures of Queen Elizabeth ll, but when I knew she died, I cried, she was an happy queen, an amazing queen,

A tragic loss although King Charles III is a steady hand and now maybe Prince Andrew's role will be to clean up after the Corgis ??

Someday we are all going to feel very old by being able to say we were alive at the same time as the Queen of England.
