A speech from the nation’s new monarch King Charles III included a small tribute to his late father, Prince Philip. It was the King's first speech since his mother's death yesterday, after he flew to Balmoral to be with the 96-year-old in her final hours.
It is understood that the address was pre-recorded earlier today before being shown simultaneously on BBC One, BBC News, Sky News and ITV1. In a poignant tribute to Prince Philip, who died in April last year, his late father's polished antique desk desk has been brought to him from which to deliver the TV address, a poignant tribute to the royal, whose loss his mother felt so keenly.
