“The Council of Accession is currently underway. The formal process of declaring Charles III king has begun,” the message reads.
Details
While Charles became king the moment the Queen died, under the old common law rule that ensures Britain will never be without a monarch — and “a king never dies” — today’s ceremony makes it official, the paper notes. .
The process, which only happens after the death of a monarch (it last happened when King George VI died in 1952), is being televised for the first time in history.
Prince William and Queen Consort Camilla are privy councillors.
The Lord President of the Council – currently MP Penny Mordaunt, who is also the Leader of the House of Commons – will speak first.
Meanwhile, a crowd is gathering outside St. James’s Palace, where the Council of Accession will be held, where King Charles will be formally proclaimed monarch. Before that, cars left Downing Street – several black cars.
A number of famous figures, including former prime ministers and the mayor of London Sadiq Khan, arrived at St James’s Palace earlier.
