King Charles III has been officially announced as Britain’s monarch in a ceremony steeped in ancient tradition and political symbolism

King Charles III was officially announced as Britain’s monarch in a ceremony broadcast for the first time on television.

Charles automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday.

However the accession ceremony is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.

The ceremony at St. James’s Palace was attended by the Accession Council, made up of senior politicians and officials who advise the monarch.

They met without Charles. The king will then join them to make a series of oaths and declarations.

It’s the first time the ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

Charles is accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and his eldest son Prince William.

William is now heir to the throne and known by the title Charles long held, Prince of Wales.
