Charles's first statement as king says: 'We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother'

Prince William, now heir to the throne, has immediately inherited the title the Duke of Cornwall and is now the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, with Kate now the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, and their children also becoming “of Cornwall and Cambridge”. In 2014, one courtier who has known Charles for many years asked by the Guardian to suggest what kind of king he would be, said: “He will be true to his beliefs in his contributions. “I’ve had this extraordinary feeling, for years and years, ever since I can remember really, of wanting to heal and make things better,” he told the US’s Time magazine.

The coronation — a unique ceremony imbibed with centuries of tradition — should take place in the weeks to come, once the immediate shock at the queen’s death has passed. But the queen said in a message to mark her 70th year on the throne that it was her “sincere wish” Camilla should be known as queen consort when Charles becomes king, effectively giving her a seal of approval. LONDON, United Kingdom – Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales, has finally become king. But while that has cemented public opinion against him for some, Charles has been largely rehabilitated since his marriage to Camilla — and proved correct about his early warnings on the environment that saw him initially labelled a crank. His first official engagements came in the 1970s and as heir, his role has primarily been to support his mother “in her role as a focal point for national pride, unity and allegiance”. But at 73, the focus of his reign will be his age — and the declining influence of the British monarchy around the world.

Elizabeth died Thursday afternoon, passing the crown on to her eldest son.

King Charles III gave his first public speech after taking the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

He focused on the important role two women had played already in his life, his mother and his wife, but also how the latter, Camilla, would continue to support him during this moment and the years to come. The new king insisted that a primary part of his mission as monarch would be to provide a form of consistency in matters both temporal and spiritual, in the way he said his mother had done, despite huge social, political and cultural changes across Britain over the last seven decades. "This important work will go on in the trusted hands of others," he said.

The King's first speech to the nation was telling of his hopes for his reign and how the royal family will operate.

But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.” The institutions of the state have changed in turn.” And he said: “Whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love.” But he does so in the knowledge that These two sentences projected a clear recognition of a new era, in which he will reign over an ever more ethnically and religiously diverse nation. Tellingly he referenced her pledge to the people of all Commonwealth countries in 1947 that “my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service”. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today.”

As the King comes to terms with his new role, he will find that he needs to have an entirely different conversation with us that that of his mother.

The Queen's last public engagement had been the appointing of Truss on Tuesday. Charles himself was made Prince of Wales in 1958, six years after he became heir apparent. Shortly after that, he held his first in-person audience with Truss.

Saturday's papers capture the King's public display of deep affection for his mother, and his vow to make loyalty, respect and love the tenets of his reign.

“These are the days that Britain does well, when the country shakes off its self-doubt and pulls itself to attention,” write Henry Mance and Jennifer Williams. Its wrap front page shows Charles looking admiringly at his mother, with the headline “to my darling Mama, thank you”. Its headline is: “Tearful Charles’s tribute to his darling mama”. Picturing him seated at his desk, the headline is “Our new King’s pledge to the nation … The headline is “I pledge myself to you”. The Guardian uses an image of Charles having a moment of quiet reflection and carries a line from Friday’s speech as its headline: “I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty and love”.
