King Charles III admitted “feeling the weight of history” as he addressed MPs and peers in 900-year-old Westminster Hall today.
Speaking at a rare joint session of both Houses of Parliament, he pointed to memorials all around him of the late Queen - testament to her record-breaking 70 years on the throne.
The monarch spoke in the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, where his namesake King Charles I was tried and convicted at the end of the Civil War.
