London: King Charles III will be officially proclaimed monarch at a meeting of the Accession Council at St James’s Palace, on Saturday, Buckingham Palace said.
King Charles arrived in London on Friday with Queen Consort Camilla to carry out royal duties after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
According to reports, the formal body overseeing the succession from Queen Elizabeth II will meet from 10:00 am (0900 GMT) with a first public pronouncement from a balcony of St James’s Palace in London at 11:00 AM.
Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s longest-serving monarch died at the age of 96 on Thursday, with her son succeeding her as the king.
In general, the Accession Council takes place at St James’s Palace in London within 24 hours of the death of a sovereign but it will be later this time as the Queen’s death was not announced until early evening and there was no time to set plans for Friday.
As per the historic tradition, the entire Privy Council is summoned to the Accession Council to oversee the formal proclamation of a new monarch but with the number of privy counselors, now new restrictions have been put in place.
