as King Charles III is formally proclaimed
Posted on 09/10/2022 7:24:04 AM PDT by caww
King Charles III was officially proclaimed Britain’s monarch Saturday in a pomp-filled ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism — and, for the first time, broadcast live online and on air.
Scores of senior British politicians past and present, including new Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors, gathered in the ornate state apartments at St. James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council. They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king then joined them, vowing to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch. The new king formally approved a series of orders — including one declaring the day of his mother’s funeral a public holiday. The date of the state funeral has not been announced, but it is expected to be around Sept. 19.
This is the first time the accession ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

as King Charles III is formally proclaimed
Give him a chance……and pray he wonderfully surprises us
The British do not think that way. Quite the opposite of your opinion.
The Queens mother was Scotish.

Forbid it, Almighty God!

It really doesn’t matter what we think of the Queen - It matters to the Brits and the nations she represented as Queen. Obviously the massive crowds we’ve seen early on evidences their support of the Queen....and the Royals in general. All love William and Kate and likely willing to wait until their day to assume the Roles of King and Queen down the road.
President Trump’s mother was Scottish
Camilla and Charles were dishonorable, but they are old now and have continuing roles to fulfill as king and queen consort. I can respect William supporting his father and king (and his stepmother) while still praising his mother and her memory when appropriate. I’m sure the public has had its fill of the cheap soap opera style of royalling in the persons of Halfwit, MeGain and Randy Andy and Fergie.
Over the past few years Charles has already assumed several of the Queens duties. But I do think he’ll have an adjustment as his political opinions will need to be far less now. If or not he will do that remains to be seen.
Willam just spoke and a wonderful support to his father and the honoring the Queen. I think Willaim will be one of Charles advisors to a greater degree now.
watch that video closely when he sits down at the desk and hands paper to the prince, and keeps over and over directing others to move the pens out of the way. As if he is so special to move them forward a bit like the price did later.
Typical Charles behavior.
England died a slow demographic death under QE. Fact. England is dead.
WWI and WWII killed Britain.
The crowds say otherwise.
“... and the Presbyterian form of government. This PCA person agrees with the latter statement.”
If he’s barring the 13 fret, what the G for?
EXACTLY
He took 4 cycles to pass his math tests in school.........
Based on his previous comments, he’s on the side of the Leftists and Global Totalitarian Government.
Doesn’t matter I guess, he’s just a figurehead, but still, another bloody drop in the Leftist bucket.
WOW! .....Willima @ Kate ....Harry @ Megan just showed up ‘together’at Windsor to view flowers and do the rope line.
