. In an official statement — where he’s referred to, for the first time, as “His Majesty the King” — Charles shared a statement acknowledging her death Thursday.
Charles added that the United Kingdom would be going through a “period of mourning and change,” but that the Queen’s family will be “comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.” Charles’ statement came just under an hour after Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II at age 96.
