According to protocol, the new sovereignty of Charles III was formally proclaimed by a special Board of Assumption, which met in St. James’s Palace of London on 10 September. The coronation of the monarch will take place later.
His wife Camilla received the status of queen consort. And the next heir to the throne is now the son of Charles – Prince William.
The first official singing of God Save The King was sung at the end of a memorial service for the Queen at St Paul’s Cathedral.
