King Charles III ended his historic address to the nation tonight with a very poignant message to his mother with his 'flights of angels' line. Towards the end of his speech, the new King turned attention back to his late mother and made a reference to his father Prince Philip.
Tributes have been flooding in for Queen Elizabeth from around the world as a period of national mourning begins, following her death yesterday at Balmoral. King Charles returned to London today from Scotland as his reign began in earnest and delivered a tear-jerking video message to the public.
Many viewers were deeply moved by the new king's powerful words, but some were left wondering what the meaning was behind his final line.
