This is King Charles the third addressing the nation in a recorded message published on Friday the 9th of September. He expresses grief at the passing of the Queen, and then promises to fulfill his duties as the king. Also outlines some of the changes which have been made to the duties of other members of the family. And this is a chance for you to listen to Charles's statement, but also to notice how he does it. So pay attention to his accent, his choice of words and structures, the way that he delivers it all.
Talking to my parents about events in the UK following the death of The Queen on 9 September, including the media coverage, the proclamation of King Charles III, comments about Charles as King and a discussion of the role of the monarch in the UK’s constitution. Also includes some comments about the new Prime Minister Liz Truss and the future of the UK government over the next 18 months.
