He also inherits from the Queen the governorship of the Church of England and the leadership of the Commonwealth
King Charles III has been confirmed as the new British monarch, governor of the Church of England and head of the Commonwealth in a solemn ceremony at St. James’s Palace, which was broadcast live. The confirmation by the Privy Council is an ancient rite, of only symbolic relevance, as Carlos became king at the time of the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, last Thursday. The coronation at Westminster Abbey could take place in months.
“Prince Carlos Felipe Arturo Jorge now, through the passing of our sovereign lady of happy memory, becomes our King Carlos III. God save the king!” exclaimed the Ascension Council before the monarch himself was called into the room.
Before high-ranking politicians, judges, Anglican bishops, soldiers and his son Guillermo and his wife Camila, Carlos III spoke a few short words in the painting room of the palace – “my most painful duty” – in which he reported the death of his mother and queen and stated that he knows “that you, the whole nation, and I think I can say the whole world, sympathize with me for the irreparable loss we have suffered”. “My mother’s reign was unparalleled for its duration, devotion and devotion (…) I am deeply aware of this great heritage and the duties and heavy responsibilities of the sovereignty, which has now been transferred to me,” said the new sovereign. He pledged to comply with the United Kingdom’s constitutional standards and signed a specific commitment to preserve the rights of the Church of Scotland, which in its Presbyterian version does not have the British monarch as ruler. That protection dates back to the union of the crowns of England and Scotland in 1603.
According to a carefully drafted protocol that should have taken place long ago, the courtier in charge of enforcing the heraldic rules announced to the public from a palace terrace that the new king had been confirmed. His proclamation was read to the sound of royal trumpeters and in the presence of the royal guard in their ostentatious black bear hats, as well as a large crowd of onlookers.
