King Charles III has been proclaimed
as Britain’s new monarch in a ceremony followed by gun salutes and the reading
of proclamations in London and across the four corners of the United Kingdom.
The proclamation was read publicly in the other capital cities of the UK –
Edinburgh in Scotland, Belfast in Northern Ireland, and Cardiff in Wales – and
at other locations.
Charles is king and head of state of
the United Kingdom and 14 other realms, including Australia, Canada, Jamaica,
New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
The official coronation will take place at a later date – and the timing for
that is not yet clear.
