King Charles III Appears In Parliament With Wife For First Time As King
Charles III appeared emotional as MPs and peers stood to sing ‘God Save the King’ on his first appearance in Parliament as Britain’s monarch.
Both houses gathered this morning to honour Queen Elizabeth following her death aged 96 on Thursday.
The Speaker of the Commons spoke of how Her Majesty ‘touched lives’ across the country, while the Lord speaker noted that many somehow believed her historic reign would never come to an end.
Addressing Parliament for the first time as Head of State, Charles quoted William Shakespeare while describing his ‘selfless’ mother’s remarkable legacy.
