The Ascension of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

A new thread to discuss the Ascension of King Charles and The Queen Consort.[/b] :crown:

wannable · September 08, 2022, 08:15:40 PM

We will all witness the Coronation of Charles III (anointment/crowning of Queen Consort)

The essential elements of the coronation have remained largely unchanged for the past thousand years. The sovereign is first presented to, and acclaimed by, the people. He or she then swears an oath to uphold the law and the Church. Following that, the monarch is anointed with holy oil, invested with regalia, and crowned, before receiving the homage of his or her subjects. Wives of kings are then anointed and crowned as queen consort. The service ends with a closing procession, and since the 20th century it has been traditional for the royal family to appear later on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, before attending a banquet there.

(Queen Elizabeth's accession on February 6, 1952, her coronation took place on June 2, 1953, over a year later).

Tomorrow: Charles will be formally proclaimed King. He will also meet with the prime minister and the cabinet, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Westminster.

The Coronation procession through the streets will most likely be much shortened and simplified. In 1953 Britain was still a colonial power and thousands of troops marched in the streets.

They may shorten the service a bit as well. Charles is likely to be 74 when the Coronation happens (probably in the warmer months next year) and Camilla is older at 75. Might be a bit much. Victoria was exhausted and she was a teenager!

Princess Cassandra · September 08, 2022, 09:11:39 PM

They are dealing with the death of the Queen at the same time as official duties are the order, as usual. I've always thought what an awful thing that must be. I think he will do very well, but I doubt he is thinking much beyond his loss at this point. He loved his mother.

Don?t know if this is the correct thread, but?

What will happen at the Accession Council tomorrow and following days?

What happens at the Accession Council? The meeting where Charles will be proclaimed King

^ Yes

Special meeting of the Privy Council is usually held within 24 hours of the sovereign's death and will be televised for the very first time

Yes, it should be a magnificent ceremony. Photos of the outdoor portion of the ceremony have been taken though, as far back as George V?s reign.

Charles fulfils royal destiny as King after being longest-serving heir apparent

?Then, secondly, the new King holds his first Privy Council.

Charles will make a personal declaration about the Queen and then take the oath to preserve the Church of Scotland ? because in Scotland there is a division of powers between Church and State.

Afterwards, the first public proclamation of the new sovereign is read in the open air from the Friary Court balcony at St James?s Palace by the Garter King of Arms in the presence of the Earl Marshal and two of the sovereign?s Serjeants at Arms.?

I hope there are no publicity-seeking politicians making mischief. It is a solemn occasion and should be treated as such.

I thought the same thing yet there is always someone who wants to toot their horn and makes sure they are noticed in the public eye. This is a horrific time for Charles more than anyone else in the family as he beside grieving for his mother, he must preform the duties he was born for. The burden must be extremely heavy at this time. I remember seeing pictures of him at Philip's funeral with tears in his eyes.....my heart goes out to him as this is so soon after losing his dad...as we all know *grief knows no time limits* and he must still be grieving and thinking of Philip at this time also.

I still can not believe HM is gone...I kinda suspected it a while back yet the shock of losing her is hard to bear, sure I did not know her personally yet from early childhood she was my fairy tale queen until later in life I learned about her job and duties and that made me admire and love her more then ever, even in good and not so good times. HM kept her word to the end, still working and doing her duty 2 days before her death, I so very much will miss her smile and those baby blue eyes sparking at events or on the balcony.

My favorite balcony appearance was when she was dressed in that gorgeous blue with little Louis shooting at the planes and trying to get her attention..that smile and the turn of her head made me chuckle at her sense of humor...

As per usual with ALL RR's or the handful of people who have connections let's say with more intimate circles of the BRF, some of their individual or collective news pan out and some don't.

WILLIAM FACES THIS NEW HUGE CHALLENGE WHAT IS IT?

Blue Clover · September 09, 2022, 03:57:33 AM

Wannable,
This is interesting news about Prince William. I wonder how much he will step up to support his aging father.

Nightowl · September 09, 2022, 05:05:31 AM

I would like to think that William who learned all from his grandmother the Queen about duty and responsibility to the monarchy would stand by his father and help in any way he can. William has grown and changed over the years, he is less angry at his dad and more settled within himself. I think having a very loving wife who understands him and what his life entails and the 3 feisty beautiful children has made him look at his life and how he can handle the pressures and duties coming his way. William, I believe is a strong man now and like HM suffers no fools, even those in the family.

Sometimes *forgiveness* can be and is highly overrated for those that want to continue to hurt and work to destroy a family...I think it will take forever and a day for William to forgive those that have attacked and lied and bad mouth the royal family. All William has to do in regards to Ca is *just turn your back, walk away with your head held high and close that door for the good of yourself and your family*....Even now I expect that is what William will do.

Yes, well there isn?t that much great history behind the names of the two Stuarts who succeeded to the English/Scottish Throne is there? One extremely stubborn individual who believed in the Divine Right of Kings and had his head cut off for it after the country became embroiled in a nasty Civil War.

And his son, the Merry Monarch, who was an energetic womaniser and who secretly took money from the French King. Not much to crow about there, then!

King Charles' inaugural speech in full
I speak to you today with feelings of profound sorrow. Throughout her life, Her Majesty The Queen my beloved Mother was an inspiration and example to me and to all my family, and we owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example.

Queen Elizabeth was a life well lived; a promise with destiny kept and she is mourned most deeply in her passing. That promise of lifelong service I renew to you all today. Alongside the personal grief that all my family are feeling, we also share with so many of you in the United Kingdom, in all the countries where The Queen was Head of State, in the Commonwealth and across the world, a deep sense of gratitude for the more than 70 years in which my Mother, as Queen, served the people of so many nations.

In 1947, on her 21st birthday, she pledged in a broadcast from Cape Town to the Commonwealth to devote her life, whether it be short or long, to the service of her peoples. That was more than a promise: it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. She made sacrifices for duty.

Her dedication and devotion as Sovereign never waivered, through times of change and progress, through times of joy and celebration, and through times of sadness and loss. In her life of service we saw that abiding love of tradition, together with that fearless embrace of progress, which make us great as Nations. The affection, admiration and respect she inspired became the hallmark of her reign.

And, as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humour and an unerring ability always to see the best in people.

I pay tribute to my Mother's memory and I honour her life of service. I know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and I share that sense of loss, beyond measure, with you all. When The Queen came to the throne, Britain and the world were still coping with the privations and aftermath of the Second World War, and still living by the conventions of earlier times.

In the course of the last 70 years we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many faiths. The institutions of the State have changed in turn. But, through all changes and challenges, our nation and the wider family of Realms of whose talents, traditions and achievements I am so inexpressibly proud have prospered and flourished. Our values have remained, and must remain, constant.

The role and the duties of Monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign's particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted. In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

As The Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the Constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.

My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities. It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply. But I know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others.

This is also a time of change for my family. I count on the loving help of my darling wife, Camilla. In recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage 17 years ago, she becomes my Queen Consort.

I know she will bring to the demands of her new role the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come to rely so much. As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.

He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades. Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.

With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.

In a little over a week's time we will come together as a nation, as a Commonwealth and indeed a global community, to lay my beloved mother to rest. In our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example.

On behalf of all my family, I can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. They mean more to me than I can ever possibly express.

And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you. Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.

May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest

Such a very personal and heartfelt speech, he has shown his deep love for his mother, father and the royal family along with the nation of nations now under his realm. I have always admired and loved Prince Charles in good times and not so good times yet he has risen to the occasion. His deep love for his mother and father and the respect he has shown them will carry him through his time of grief and help him to heal.
