For the first time in 70 years, the United Kingdom has a new monarch.
Charles Phillip Arthur George Windsor is now officially King of England.
The accession ceremony, which is a key constitutional and ceremonial step took place today in London.
Charles officially has been introduced as the King.
Senior politicians and officials gathered at St. James’s Palace in London for Saturday's accession ceremony. It’s the first time the ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.
Charles, the oldest person to ever assume the British throne, became King Charles III on Thursday following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. No date has been set for his coronation.
The king vowed to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch, before a royal official proclaimed him king from a palace balcony.
Later, new Prime Minister Liz Truss and other lawmakers lined up in the House of Commons to take an oath of loyalty to the new king.
