Charles ascended the throne on Sept. 10, two days after Queen Elizabeth II died at age 96 of old age. He will become the oldest person to become king.
On Sept. 10, Charles was proclaimed as the reigning monarch of the UK and Commonwealth before he addressed the privy council.
He said in part, “My mother’s reign was unequaled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve we give thanks for this most faithful life. I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me. Charles added that he will “strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set in upholding constitutional government and to seek the peace, harmony and prosperity of the peoples of these islands, and of the commonwealth realms and territories across the world.”
“I take this opportunity to confirm my willingness and intention to continue the tradition of surrendering the hereditary revenues, including the crown estate to the government for the benefit of all in return for the sovereign grant which supports my official duties as head of state and head of nation,” he concluded.
