Charles III addressed all the subjects of Great Britain and promised that throughout his life he would serve them “with loyalty, respect and affection”, guided by the foundations of the British Constitution.
“My life and the life of my family will definitely change,” said the king.

He wishes his youngest son Prince Harry and his wife Megan a “happy life abroad”.
In conclusion, Charles III said that Elizabeth II’s funeral will take place next week. On behalf of himself, on behalf of the royal family and the British people, he can say the main word to his mother: “thank you.”
“May the angels keep your peace,” the king concluded his speech.
