The Accession Council will be televised for the first time in history, Clarence House has confirmed. An Accession Council – the formal proclamation of Charles as King – will take place at St James’s Palace in London on Saturday at 10am
A Principal Proclamation will be read in public for the first time by the Garter King of Arms in the open air from the balcony overlooking Friary Court at St James’s an hour later at 11am. It will be followed by a flurry of Proclamations around the country, with the second one at City of London at the Royal Exchange at noon on Saturday, and further Proclamations in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales at noon on Sunday.
The Palace said: “His Majesty The King will be proclaimed at the Accession Council at 10.00hrs tomorrow morning 10th September in the State Apartments of St James’s Palace, London. The Accession Council, attended by Privy Councillors, is divided into two parts. In Part I, the Privy Council, without The King present, will proclaim the Sovereign, and formally approve various consequential Orders, including the arrangements for the Proclamation.
