    What's the story

    Charles III was officially declared King of the United Kingdom (UK) on Saturday in a ceremony at St. James's Palace in London.

    The event at the palace, a Tudor royal house near Buckingham Palace, was aired for the first time.

    He was accompanied by his wife, the Queen Consort, and his eldest son, Prince William, who is now Prince of Wales at the ceremony.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    The longest-serving British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away on Thursday after serving as the ruler for seven decades.

    The Queen had reportedly been on a summer break in Scotland since July and had been experiencing trouble walking and standing since October last year.

    The 96-year-old had named Charles as her successor, who, interestingly, had been the longest-serving heir to the crown.

    Details

    Official proclamation finalized by Accession Council

    According to the BBC, Charles ascended to the throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday.

    However, in accordance with the laws, the Accession Council was convened to issue an official declaration of the successor.

    To recall, the Queen died at the age of 96 in Balmoral, a royal estate in Scotland.

    She was the oldest monarch and Britain's longest-reigning monarch.

    Proclamation

    Proclamation will be read to public in several capital cities

    As per reports, the proclamation accompanied by gun salutes will also be read publicly in other capital cities of the United Kingdom.

    "I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me," Charles said while addressing the Accession Council comprises of politicians, bishops, and senior officials.
