The King has held his first in-person audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace. The 73-year-old succeeded his mother following her death yesterday (Thursday).
Leading the House of Commons in tribute, Liz Truss has insisted Britain must show it does not fear what lies ahead after “our lives changed forever” following the death of its “icon” Queen.
The Prime Minister said the King “bears an awesome responsibility that he now carries for all of us”, adding: “Even as he mourns, his sense of duty and service is clear.”
