King Charles III is due to make his first visit to Wales with the Queen Consort on Friday, 16 September following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The visit, which will take place in Cardiff, will be the couple' third official engagement after attending ceremonies in Belfast and Edinburgh.
As part of the visit, the new King will be visiting Llandaff Cathedral for a remembrance service for Queen Elizabeth II, followed by a motion of condolence at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay. A reception service will then take place at Cardiff Castle where the King will hold a private audience with Mark Drakeford and the Presiding Officer of the Senedd, Elin Jones.
Preparations for the event are already underway, with workers out in the Llandaff area preparing it for the visit. The day after the Queen's death a notice was put outside the cathedral announcing that it had closed until further notice in order to prepare for the service. The plan for the day is as follows.
