“I know how deeply you, the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered,” King Charles III told the crowd.
Britain's William, Prince of Wales, Queen Camilla and King Charles III attend the Accession Council at St James's Palace on Sept. 10, 2022.
For the first time, the proclamation proceedings were televised, allowing the public never-before-seen view of the ceremony. The last time a monarch was proclaimed was in 1952, when the late Queen's father died. The proclamation of a monarch starts by senior members of parliament joining together to form the Ascension Council without the King present. They then confirm his title as King.“I know how deeply you, the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in the irreparable loss we have all suffered,” King Charles III told the audience.
The ceremony ended with the King and Queen on the balcony with David White, the Garter King of Arms, reading the principal proclamation to the crowd.
