King Charles in his first speech: “I will serve the British people with the same devotion” – Watch video

His first sermon as king of the United Kingdom was addressed by Charlesone day after Queen Elizabeth’s death.

Charles arrived in Buckingham in the early afternoon, accompanied by his wife Camilla, and after meeting with Prime Minister Liz Truss, began preparations for his first words as monarch to the British people.

Watch King Charles’ speech:

THE King Charles he pledged to the British people to serve them with the same devotion that his mother Elizabeth had shown over the years.

“During Queen Elizabeth’s service we have seen that enduring love of tradition alongside that fearless embrace of progress that makes us great as a nation.

The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became a hallmark of her reign. I pay tribute to my mother’s memory and honor her life of service. I know her death brings great sadness to so many of you. And I share this sense of boundless loss with all of you.

When the Queen came to the throne, Britain and the world were still dealing with the deprivation and aftermath of the Second World War and were still living by the conventions of previous eras. In the last 70 years we have seen our society change.

The institutions of the state changed in turn. But through all the changes and challenges, our nation and the wider Royal family – of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so unspeakably proud – have prospered and flourished.

Our values ​​have remained and must remain steadfast. The role and duties of the Monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s special relationship and responsibility to the Church of England – the Church in which my faith is so deeply rooted.

My life will of course change as I take on my new responsibilities. I will no longer be able to give so much of my time and energy to charities and causes that I care so deeply about. But I know that this important work will continue in the trusted hands of others.

This is also a time of change for my family. I rely on the loving help of my beloved wife Camilla. In recognition of her own faithful public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort. I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast dedication to duty on which I rely so much,” the new monarch of the United Kingdom said.

Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate – Love to Harry and Meghan

“With Catherine at his side, our new Prince and Princess of Wales, I know, will continue to inspire and guide our national conversations, helping to bring the marginalized to the center where vital help can be given. My love to Prince Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives abroad.

On behalf of my entire family, I can only express my sincerest and most sincere thanks for your condolences and support. They mean more to me than I can ever express.

And to my dear mom, as you embark on your last long journey to join my late dad, I just want to say this: thank you. Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and the family of nations that you have served so diligently over the years. May the flights of Angels sing to you in your repose.”
