This Friday, September 9, the new king, Charles III, delivered his first official address live from Buckingham Palace since the death of Elizabeth II.

He will be at the end of his reign. Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday, September 8, at her home in Balmoral, Scotland, surrounded by loved ones. The day after her death, her son Charles III, the new King of the United Kingdom, paid tribute to the monarch from Buckingham Palace in a powerful and intimate speech. “I appeal to you with deep sorrow,” he said first, emphasizing his “Dear Mother“, his “beloved mother” after 70 years of reign.

“We owe him the biggest and most important debt of gratitude. For his love, his love and example,” she added, visibly moved. Charles III also thanked Elizabeth II for “her life spent in the service of the nation”. A life made of “sacrifices” and “traditions” and despite everything that wants to accept progress. “He combined all of those qualities with his warmth and humor, his ability to see the best in every individual,” he continued. Thus, the new king promised to protect his nation’s “constitutional values” like a sovereign. “This example of duty, I am updating you this evening,” he assured.

Changes within the Windsor clan

“This is also a moment of change for my family,” Charles III said in his first speech. After becoming king, the latter reminded that if he could no longer “spend so much time and energy for charitable organizations, that work will continue thanks to others.” For that, he said, he is counting on “the love of his adorable wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, who became the Queen’s consort. And add: “I know he will bring the demands of this role, the sense of duty that I have counted on.”

He then spoke about his son Prince William, the former Duke of Cambridge who became the Prince of Wales. “Today I am proud to dedicate it. Along with Catherine, they will continue to lead our national debates so that those on the margins are at the center of the discussion, so that we can provide them with the help they need,” he said. To these words, a thought was added to his other son, Prince Harry, as well as his wife, Meghan Markle, “who continue to build their lives abroad.”
