Following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III delivers his first official address to the nation following his appointment as king this afternoon. The speech was recorded in Buckingham Palace and broadcast to the nation. The remarks represent the first public words since his mother Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday, and his first remarks as King Charles III. [Video and Transcript Below]
[Transcript] “I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen – my beloved Mother – was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.
“Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today. Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations.
“In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples. That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. She made sacrifices for duty.
“Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss. In her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as Nations. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign.
“And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.
“I pay tribute to my Mother’s memory and I honour her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all. When The Queen came to the throne, Britain and the world were still coping with the privations and aftermath of the Second World War, and still living by the conventions of earlier times.
“In the course of the last 70 years we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths. The institutions of the State have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of Realms – of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud – have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant.
“The role and the duties of Monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted. In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.
“As The Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.
“My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities. It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply. But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.
“This is also a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla. In recognition of her own loyal 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 devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much. As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.
“He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades. Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.
“With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.
“In a little over a week’s time we will come together as a nation, as a Commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest. In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example.
“On behalf of all my family, I can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. They mean more to me than I can ever possibly express.
“And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you. Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.
“May ‘flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest’.”
No matter who we are, King or pauper, in the end it all comes down to those we love and those who have loved us.
Very touching tribute by now King Charles to his mother.
I’d say there is a 10 percent chance that within 5 years, because of this idiot Charles, the monarchy will cease to exist in its present mode.
and that will be a bad thing? because….
Tourism dollars for one thing. Tradition another. Conservatism too: a monarch with a sense of duty and history could subtly curb the constant shift leftward of the political class in UK.
Most importantly without the royals to gossip about, People Magazine and its cousins would cease their existence.
LOL!!!!! Well done!
I would definitely miss The Mirror!
personally, I would prefer the monarchy as it is, a great tourist boon but very little power. Unlike those in charge here..
These people here aspire to that and as evidence, I give the photo op engaged in with HRC’s first grand baby on the steps of a hospital. Trying to be like Diana and Kate.
Surely you are not implying that ‘brandon’ is a tourist attraction… well, perhaps he is, in the Zoo he has created.
Yes, the British Monarchy has £480B of little power.
You seem to be jealous of rich people. Why is that?
Traditions matter.
I prefer the American “tradition” of telling the monarchy to eFF off.
And when “Conservatism” means supporting a monarchy, any monarchy, it’s time to get off that bus. As patriotic remnant Americans we need to start realizing there is nothing left to conserve. It’s gone. We will need a revolutionary spirit to demand the changes that we need to make this a better place for ourselves and our children.
There is a difference between deference and support. When someone like Queen Elizabeth dies, it is unseemly to immediately figuratively stab her through the heart, as some have tried to do here these past two days.
Today’s Constitutional Monarchy bears no resemblance to George III in 1776. Today’s monarchy has no real power. It acts as a stabilizing influence in Britain, and as an ambassador to foreign countries and their leaders.
And receives millions and millions from the taxpayers for exactly what?
They produce more in tourism dollars than they take in. The monarchy is a balance to the politics of Westminster, and acts as an ambassador to other countries and their leaders.
I think of it as a very well paid PR job
billions
Very well said.
I think you are wrong , my guess , he will have a popular Prince William, Prince of Wales , (and Kate) seasoned a bit more and abdicate /retire in William’s favor in 6 or 7 years , but who knows , he may really like the Crown after waiting all these years and not want to give it up early ?
Nostradamus spoke/wrote of that… of 3 babies being born after a war…lots of speculation in that realm, no pun intended.
What did he say?
Liz hung on as long as she could, likely hoping that C. would grow up before She went.
haha.
LOL!!!
Sooner and bigger chance of it happening. Met two people today who said their first thought when they think of Charles is tampons. A person with that baggage is not going to hold 54 countries together.
He should be called Charles IV.
“Bonnie Prince Charlie” was the rightful heir to the throne, as Charles III, following the Stuart line, after Kings James II and James III.
Just imagine how different the history of America would have been if there had been no King George I, no King George II, and no King George III.
Charles Stuart died in 1788. No doubt, King Charles III would have handled the American colonies very differently.
Bonnie Prince Charley, “Will Ye No’ Come Back Again?” Sung by Jean Redpath.
Beautiful.
Well from the Glorious Revolution it was decided henceforth there would be no more place for Papists, hence the need to appoint Elector of Hanover as King. But as head of the Church and the Lords Spiritual, I’m not so sure QEII nor KCIII have or will accomplish much.
Charles Stuart was never King.
He should have been.
He lost the war. And fled Scotland dressed as a woman.
I am OK with KFCIII.
does he know what happened to Charles I and Charles II?
History 101 – Charles I , was a generally good King , but lost the English Civil War and Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans had him executed _ lesson there – never cross a Puritan . His son Charles Ii , was eventually restored to the throne and the nasty blue nose Puritans were dealt with , and he had a long reign and apparently 15 illegitimate children that they know of – died , probably from a stroke at age 54 or so . Ominous allusion if that what it was fails ,sorry
lesson there – never cross a Puritan
charles mom died, all men become boys when their moms pass. I did. I hope that he carries on her legacy of stiff upper lip, kindness and humor.
Curious that Charles did not mention any titles when referring to Harry or Me-Again. He just wished them luck in the their new lives overseas.
Noted in prior page , that was not an accidental omission by any means …
An elegant backhanded invitation to “come to your senses”, maybe?
Like , Balls in your court , son , … but Megan will never …. Forget that thought … won’t go there…
You are correct. The Markle woman will have to curtsy to Camilla and Catherine and always walk behind. I don’t think she can stomach that.
https://rumble.com/v1jeawj-classic.html
Yes, I noticed that as well. Megan will be mad(!) and Harry will say, “I tried to explain to you…”Megan thought she might become President here in the States. Delusions..
HEY!!!
Anyone here remember how our President Trump was treated on his visit to England? As I recall, everyone but The Queen snubbed their nose at him.
If King Charles The Putz is saying nice words – it is only because it benefits him. Winter is coming to England and his advocacy for dangerous green policies are a substantive contribution.
Uneasy lies the head….
He also now knows that the resident at 1600 will be gone soon.
Adorable picture!
PM has said fracking is back on with shale production but will take about 5-6 months to get up and running. The PM is the power, the Parliament, not the king.
He is not fit to shine his mother’s shoes. And Camilla being a Queen and not a Princess is an insult. Prince Philip wasn’t a King. These two cheating losers are horrible people.
Camilla is a Queen Consort, not a Queen.
Queen Bee.
I personally feel that in spite of the dead Queen’s wishes about Queen Consort…
…this is truly the start of Diana’s legacy….her first born is now next in line of succession, and Prince of Wales. Which was her focus in raising her boys, the heir and the spare, towards the traditions of the monarchy with true compassion. Towards their potential station in life.
She was a hands on royal mom. Charles mother, not as much, as the royal traditions then, had the kids with nannies and in a nursery far removed from the parents, from what I understand.
Diana entered that marriage as being young and inexperienced with the ways of men and relationships. And really did not understand the royal male of the species…that having mistresses was “ok”. She had no ability to cope or any point of reference. So yes, cheaters, both, Camilla and the now, King.
I have not heard mention of the Dukedom of Cornwall, which is usually associated with being the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, if i am not mistaken. I don’t know when or if the title Duke of Cornwall has been assigned to William yet…am wondering if he can decline it?
My lurking UK Treepers can offer more insight what I have recently read…..oh well, times are a changing.
Diana may have dne some wonderful things, but imo she ruined her legacy and she shouldnt never have slept with 2 Muslims and others–Haznat Khan and Didi Fayed. What kind of look was that-the MOTHER of a future king and head of the Church of England, sleeping with those men??
Khan was a surgeon and by all accounts a very decent man. His family railed against this relationship and put a stop to it. Then she went for Dodi -a playboy with a history of messing around with lots of shady women.
I’m sorry if anyone takes umbrage at that, but thats the way I feel.
Did you listen to or read the speech?. Charles named William Duke of Cornwall and Prince of Wales.
This a most unique photo. It is a riot!
Grandma, on the balcony, is posed with museum jewelry, dressed alike with her great grandchild. Note. little Louis is holding his hands to his ears as the jets fly over, yet look to the right at his ‘Mum’s’ ring….Diana’s.
Yes, it was announced that William has now the Duchy of Cornwall, I think Charles may have said that in his address.
Queen consort is the usual title of the King’s wife. Queen Elizabeth II’s mother was Queen consort. The usual title for the male spouse of the Queen Regnant is Prince.
A queen consort is the female partner, spouse or companion to the King. The consort is not a formal role, and is symbolic of the support the person gives the monarch. It is different to the queen regnant, who is the ruler in their own right, like Queen Elizabeth II.
[Her mother, Queen Elizabeth, was queen consort.]
Before her, the previous queen regnant was Queen Victoria, whose husband Prince Albert was prince consort.
Historically, male spouses to the queen regnant have taken on the title prince consort rather than king consort.

You show your lack of understanding what monarchy is. Phillip wasn’t king because he was not the heir. Elizabeth was. King is higher than Queen, so when you have a queen, there is no king.
No matter what people think about the Monarchy, Queen Elizabeth served her Nation well. She was born into this path in her life and took on the nation’s responsibilities with strength, dignity and class.
Queen Elizabeth was one of a kind and may she now be reunited with her beloved.
Elizabeth was a consequential person of history. She was a woman who lived dutifully and will be fondly remembered.
Not sure Great Britain can keep its stature with Fool Charles in charge. Some people are spewing so much hate at a Woman who selflessly served her Country for 1/3 of the time the USA has been a Nation. So many people throw shade at a woman who stayed out of politics and currents issues. She served well.
If you hate a woman who gave her life dutifully, with dignity and respect, something is wrong with YOU.
#QueenElizabeth was a Uniter. Her heir to the throne is pure trash. He is a cheater. He is a political animal. He is not fit to shine his mother’s shoes.
#RIPQueenElizabeth 🙏
Charles was not a mere cheater. He was ordered not to marry his true love, Camilla, because she was a divorcee. The Crown demanded that Charles marry a virgin. And so he did. There was no love between Charles and Diana. Diana was in love with being a princess, but she and Charles had nothing in common.
I had read somewhere, in the 1980’s, that Diana was deeply infatuated with Charles, prior to their engagement. But you are right, there was nothing in common. She made him look good. And she had a fabulous wardrobe planner and hat designer.
I totally agree with your words about the Queen. The vitriol here is astounding, and diminishing of those spewing it, and of this site, frankly. I’m willing to take a wait-and-see attitude towards Charles. / The Queen, in her original statement about her duty and service mentioned God first. (She was a Christ-believing Christian.) Charles left that out. Hmmm.
When speaking about his time being king, he gave it up to God granting him the time. so….maybe he believes in God.
God bless The Queen.
I have low expectations for him as King, but he’d make a swell butler in the next Batman film.
Just saw a Fox headline that one of The View hosts wants reparations. I guess she used to be a fan of QEII but has since rethunk her position and now wants money from the crown since the British Empire was built on the work of black and brown people.
Will it ever stop (the “anger” and inability to work for something without blaming others)??
Look at all the former countries of the British Empire – are they better or worse off now with their own governance?
Just looking at African countries, I see Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe (among many other really bad leaders).
And Jacob Zuma…
Cyril Ramaphosa
South Africa is going really well.
HAhahahahahahahahahahahahaha……………………………..
The View hosts want a lot of nonsense. Best to not even acknowledge them. How that show stays on the air is a mystery to me.
welfare queens watch it
When Sunny Hostin spurted out that she had worked for the DOJ…my suspicions started.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_Hostin
After all, are we not watching the CYA Black Box?
I have friends in northern Wisconsin who tell me that some Indian tribes
now want reparations.
“Pillars of the Earth” ought to be required reading. It is a Ken Follett historical novel based in early England, about the building of cathedrals…and palaces etc. The author researched his work…the poor white English should get the reparations, IMHO.
Excellent book. I’ve read many of his and they are fantastic!!!
Fun fact: Pillars of the Earth got a video game.
I’m scrolling through liking so much out here if not a bit disappointed none of my sleuthers out her have pointed out that what this all really means is 007 is now on HIS Majesty Secret Service. 🙂
We’ll have to change ALL the TEA TOWELS NOW!!!!!
Elizabeth presided over the dissolution of the English people, with London now only 40% British, and the present open door policy to invaders…In 20 years, the UK won’t even be recognizable…
That was Frau Angela Merkel’s, “Come one, come all,” program. Sadly, FJB and company learned nothing from that debacle!
Sure they did.
They are all following the same plan.
You are, like many others, confusing the actions of the British government with the actions of the monarchy. The monarchy does not make laws or policies; that is up to Parliament, and that is who is to blame for the immigration policies.
I’m going around in circles. The monarchy has no power, it’s all The Governments fault. But QEII did great service to her country and her people…all the while having no power to do a thing or right a wrong.
So which is it?
I know that your reply is sarcastic, but the answer is “both”. I suggest that you read up on the British Constitutional Monarchy.
You, like many others, don’t seem to be able to distinguish between the Monarchy and the British government.
The Monarchy doesn’t make laws. The Queen NEVER publicly supported what you refer to as build back better – or MAGA. She knew that wasn’t her job.
If/when the monarch supports one political party or idea publicly, it is considered to be a constitutional crisis. I hope that Charles continues the precedent set by his mother, the Queen.
You err! She is ‘Head of STATE! You was the finai ‘seal.’
Her role was/is not to make laws. Just give her ‘assent.’
Believe me, if she does not give ‘assent,’ IT DOESN’T HAPPEN!
What you and everyone doesn’t understand is the Monarchy is the Sovereign which mean in common or gangsta world is – “as long as I’m getting paid (rent, taxes, fees, charges, leases, ROYLATIES, etc … I DON’T GIVE A ….”
The Monarchy is OWNED! Wake up!
Quiet $$$$$$$$$.
I’m sorry, but your comment makes no sense.
He’s coming from a perspective of “gangsta world” as he said. Works ok on the streets, but not so well for an historical or international perspective.
You could say that education would help, but I’m not so sure anymore. God help us all.
I pray you are correct, Stella. Charles has always given gifts in kind to his ’causes’.
I just heard today that the ‘Windsor’ Family is worth 480 B. Charles has always been known to be a WEF, Climate Change guru. That quiet money also does a LOT. Especially now that the will is up for dispersement.
Read his address today very carefully. He says a LOT.
He never mentions Christianity, only the State Church of England, states love for Harry and Meghan, and uses the word ‘global’.
Charles is not his mother.
Diana may have been a Handmaid’s Tale.
“Queen Elizabeth’s AncestryQueen Elizabeth’s paternal grandfather’s ancestry has been traced back to Germany. The ancestors such as Frederick and Dedo I belonged to the House of Wettin in the 900s. After they inherited the Wettin Castle, they took on the family name of Wettin. Wettin Castle was located near Wettin in Saxony, Germany.
Name of Royal House Changed to WindsorPrior to 1917, the members of the British Royal Family did not have a surname; but, they were members of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, was born in 1895 as a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
On July 17, 1917, Queen Elizabeth’s grandfather, King George V, announced that he and his family would become the House of Windsor and that Windsor would become the surname of his family. The reason for this movement was because England had major feelings of discontent against Germany due to World War I.”
https://biography.yourdictionary.com/articles/queen-elizabeths-last-name.html
I am quite familiar with the history of the British monarchy. The connection to Germany goes back to King George I, who was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1 August 1714 and ruler of the Duchy and Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover). George ascended the British throne as the deceased Queen Anne’s closest living Protestant relative under the Act of Settlement of 1701.
Adopting the surname Windsor was, following WWI, one of the smartest things that the British Royal family ever did. That, and beginning to make royal tours of the country whereby they became better known by the British public.
No Charles is not like his mother. I have heard, however, that he plans to become more like her now that he is king, and play a non political role. If he does this, the monarchy will probably survive. If he continues to meddle in politics, it won’t.
Yes, the royal family is very wealthy. I think it is also true that the royal family contributes more financially to Britain from a tourism point of view than they take. I am not alone in this belief.
Diana Princess of Wales, as much as I admired her, married the future King of England knowing full well that her primary responsibility was to produce an heir to the British throne. That is nothing new or different. And although Charles was unfaithful to her almost from the first day of their marriage, she was also unfaithful to him with more than one man while they were married. That is no secret. Diana seems to have been conferred with sainthood ever since she died.
Good summation
I remember Diana being in love with her ‘Prince’. That didn’t go too well. I do not think she thought of herself as a birthing person.
Oh, and Harry, being a bastard would be an odd outreach from Charles, No?
I so hope you are correct about Charles, Stella. I have many doubts. And if the Royal Family is so wealthy, why does the Monarch take a salary?
Too many ‘global’ balls seem to be moving at the moment. Charles’ past speeches are horrendous. And Diana only started to look for companionship after Charles completely blindsided her with Camilla Bowles , whose family members seem to have a history of whoring themselves off to monarchy.

Do you believe that rich people should not be entitled to a salary? How rich do you have to be before you are no longer entitled to be paid for your service?
I don’t believe that Harry is illegitimate; he looks just like his grandfather Phillip when he was a young man, and redheads run in the Spencer family. Any woman marrying a man who will one day become King knows that producing an heir is part of the deal. Diana was brought up on the Sandringham estate and quite familiar with the members of the royal family. Her father was an Earl, for heaven’s sake!
Re Diana and Charles, all I can say is that both of them broke their marriage vows. If you want to make excuses for her, that’s your prerogative. I know that most people tend to ignore her faults now that she is dead, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. We all know about Alice Keppel; do you take responsibility for any of your ancestors who were adulterous? Does that make you likely to do the same?
I think Charles is smarter than some here believe. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. He may continue to quietly support causes, but I don’t think he will be speaking out publicly against policies of the British government; that would create a Constitutional Crisis.
Charles has been waiting his whole life for this moment; I for one am looking forward to seeing how he fulfills some mighty big shoes that are now upon his feet and wish him all the best.
His first address to his nation was well done.
I think he’s dreaded it.
Having never seen a turd successfully polished before, I await with an open mind.
Yes, you are correct. Charles said the the role he played all the years as prince would be changing. His creation of the Prince’s Trust goes back decades, just noting one of the close to 400 charities he was involved with. He said he would be stepping into the role as sovereign, whose role is non-political. He also emphasized the fact that although he loved Harry and M, they were now out of the realm and living overseas. I took that to expect changes to titled people living in a non-titled country. I can only hope.
Thank you.
Anything that would be spoken by the monarchy has been written by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet and given to them to read.
As a first-generation American of Scotts, I learned much of the UK & America. All my family became U.S. citizens.
They emigrated during hard world times over several years, in the 30’s & I was born a bit later. Because of firsthand traditions, information & history of their beloved native land, I’ve kept an interest in the UK.
Remembering the British sailors coming for meals when a ship was in port during WWII, is vibrant. The songs, fiddle, accordion-a time of brief joy in a world gone mad.
In later years as adults, my sister & I joined in & invited some members of touring Pipe Bands for dinner. And years later, my husband & I took our own child & then grandchildren to Highland Games & to hear the visiting Military Pipe bands.
From all this I take one chief memory: They all, family & visitors, respected the Monarchy. To me, this represents a very long history that has withstood the good, the bad & remained united, regardless.
My first recollection of Queen Elizabeth is sitting around a trans-oceanic radio & hearing her speak her first public words as Queen. Later, we heard her marriage & later still, on my aunt’s birthday, the news of Prince Charles birth.
I hope King Charles has the spinal fortitude his mother did.
“and do nothing but post on the internet.”
hey, Jack What are you actually doing other than posting on the internet?
I did not understand the monarchy until after Queen Elizabeth II died. She was always there. No matter what was happening in the world or in her private life, she was always steady, always there with a calm perspective, a reassuring word. Even though I am not a British subject and live in the USA, I realize I felt safe with her there. I felt that everything would be all right. I think that is what the monarchy is: stability in a topsy turvy world.
The problem here is not the monarchy but the fact that Charles is a complete eco-nut and globalist who will use his position as a bully pulpit to push the same economically destructive policies as those of Biden, Trudeau, Macron, etc.
I came across some historical trivia…I live for this stuff!
Info about the coronation chair…folks, its OLD! Henry the VIII sat in it! I love to hate Henry Rex.
Kind of reminds me of Ol’ Sparky at Stateville, (I have been up close and personal but refused to sit in it, bad juju).
And all the rest from Edward I onward, who was before Henry VIII…
under the seat is the “Stone of Scone”, which has its own history and theories behind it.
https://www.westminster-abbey.org/about-the-abbey/history/the-coronation-chair
Almost as good, or at least as interesting, as King Tut’s treasures.
https://projectbritain.com/calendar/April/stonescone.html
Fascinating, Aggie! Thanks for the post.
He made it clear in his speech today that as King, he cannot pursue his political interests. I do think he will employ William to further his Greenie agenda, and maybe even Catherine. If so, William and Kate will not gain the trust and respect of the “regular” people.
I’m not a fan of Prince Charles because of his climate change activism. If he gives up that cause, as some source are saying his speech indicated he’d do, fine. But if he continues it, he’s no friend of the MAGA movement. BEWARE.
I did not hear any renunciation of climate any thing, but I DID hear a dog whistle to Meghyn and Harry, and the word “Global’.
I did NOT hear the word Christianity.
For whatever you think, the queen was his mother and he is mourning his loss. He felt the duty to speak to the people. This shows respect for them. On another note, the queen was very fond of President Trump saying once that, “in another life, he could be my son.”
Between those words of the late queen, and the words spoken here by king Charles III, read and comprehend the message.
As he just said, things, will change. 🤔
I believe the Queen wrote that speech for Charles.
This link explores the crown jewels…has a video of HRH Elizabeth Coronation….as the scepters are placed in her hands, she seems in awe…and sitting in that ‘old chair’…
https://www.hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london/crown-jewels/?id=6209#?id=6209
Some day when i get over my recently acquired fear of flying, I may go to the UK….
Almost a good start.
“It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.”
I hope he means it. Chuck needs to shut up about Green Masochism and he needs to shut up about being “defender of the faiths” (plural) and remain “defender of the faith” (Christianity).
Charles betrayed Diana for some horse women. Enough said.
AMEN.
And Diana betrayed Charles with more than one man during their marriage. He may have started it, but Diana was no innocent angel.
It seems that Diana used was a Handmaid.
Diana was the daughter of an Earl, and brought up on the Sandringham estate where she was in proximity to the royal family. Any woman, much less the daughter of an Earl, understands that producing an heir to the throne is part of the deal when marrying the Prince of Wales. Call it what you will – she didn’t go into that marriage blind.
Liz Truss just suspended the green new deal. Also put a limit on energy charges to households.
This will be interesting.
She did not suspend it, but put a review (headed by a proponent). She wants to boost “UK first”, kind of.

Maybe I’m just heartless, but for the life of me I can’t understand why Americans- or even the Brits for that matter- care So. Much. about this.
I mean it’s sad she died, but, presumably, she lived a good life and for sure it was a long, healthy life, so……….outside of her family and close friends……?????
What if I told you President Trump just died?
Charles is such a loser. Anyone who can be so easily snookered on the Climate Hoax isn’t going to amount to much.
A beautiful tribute. Moms, whether queens or housewives, are precious and are the ones who hold our society together.
If you live in America (US) and I assume you do I’d advise you to do what you are able to clean up your own mess. The Brits are still “can do” folks and I have no doubt will pull through just fine. At this time they are grieving and have full right to do so.
Will never happen.
I bet Harry and the gold digger are not happy right now. He could’ve been in line for something since William’s been promoted. But, no, his wife made sure he would be cut out because she tried to extort the royal family with “they’re racist” claims.
Nasty child molesters are surfing the grift
Some of your forefathers left England to leave the monarchy behind. Its outdated. But it gave stability to a failing west. Now Charles wont be able to do that. And despite her skills there is the stain of Diana’s death on Elizabeth.
Britain is not the United States. Their form of government is called a Constitutional Monarchy, and in some ways it is a superior system, as the Monarchy is a continuing stabilizing influence, as politicians come and go. At least that was the case during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and her father. The monarchy has no real political power at all.
Since King William III (William of Orange, in the 1680’s) the power to raise a standing army was ceded to Parliament. The Queen/King is head of the armed forces, and they pledge their allegiance to the Monarch, but she/he has no real power over the military.
WEF gets its King on the throne!

Pretty nasty thread, for the most part. Let us bury our dead before you start crapping all over them. Very far from the Treehouse’s usual courteous standards.
Triste, non?
Or maybe the old folks understand something you don’t.
The globalist king is at the peak of his popularity. Enjoy it now.
If your own mother not find you worthy then there is a problem. It is sad for anyone to die but this family have done so much irrepairable damage to other countries. They have murdered half of the Boer Nation in South Africa. They have murdered woman and children. The Boers could have been 30 million by now (reduced to 5 million) but this family’s greed costs so many innocent lives. Sorry I just cannot get myself to listen to this monster.
I did not understand the monarchy until after Queen Elizabeth II died. She was always there. No matter what was happening in the world or in her private life, she was always steady, always there with a calm perspective, a reassuring word. Even though I am not a British subject and live in the USA, I realize I felt safe with her there. I felt that everything would be all right. I think that is what the monarchy is: stability in a topsy turvy world.
Brilliant. It would have taken me many more paragraphs to express this sentiment.
