Millions of people tuned in to watch the King's proclamation this morning in a historic Accession Council ceremony. The former Prince of Wales was formally given his regal name as King Charles III and signed an oath in front of more than 200 privy councillors.
It's the first time that an Accession Council has been televised, as King Charles was joined by Prince William and Queen Consort Camilla for the momentous occasion. Privy council members included a string of top politicians both past and present, including Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Theresa May. Prime Minister Liz Truss was also in attendance as the new King vowed to honour and serve the nation as head of the state.
