The new King told Prime Minister Liz Truss how moved he had been by the public outpouring of condolences after the death of his mother the Queen.
His admission came as he met the PM for the first time today. Video footage has been released showing how the pair greeted each other in the moments before the first "audience" held between them. The monarch holds a weekly audience with the Prime Minister which is by convention entirely secret.
For both the King and Ms Truss this was their first audience - the latter having only become the PM this week. She can be seen curtseying before meeting the King, and expressing her condolences.
