The King has had an up and down relationship with the British public over the years and decades, but in recent times his popularity has grown, and he was welcomed with rapturous cheers and chants of “God Save The King!” When he entered Buckingham palace for the first time as monarch. Fundamentally, the British people respect the office of Sovereign and head of state above all else, Charles is our King, and representative of our people, and our nation, therefore he has the full support of the majority.
@@DK-cy5mt What, have a pantomime every four years, Politicians slagging each other off, some very shady characters vying with each other with insults, innuendos, accusations of crimes, etc.
At 91 the Queen was carrying out 296 public engagements per year. Her daughter Anne, the Princess Royal on her busiest year carried out 455 official appearances at events, dinners, and receptions at home, with an additional 85 engagements overseas. Yes they are privileged, but tell me who of you could conduct so many engagements where you have to be kind, polite, interested and informed? Damn sure I couldn't. Their diaries are full 3 months in advance, so they don't get to pull a duvet day if they just can't be bothered......
Yeah, those claiming, that these are lazy, entitled ppl living a life of luxury on the public dime without even lifting a finger, are really truly willfully ignorant. Not to mention just plain meanspirited whiners. I really dont know what else to call ppl, who must have been living on a different planet, if they truly believe that crap. Personally, I do not envy royals 1 bit. Sure, they have job security, quite a nice living and a lot of deference shown to them. But they also have very little freedom. Their lives are decided for them by birth, their every moment public. Their education starts from the time, they start walking with the single goal of being good and worthy representatives of their country, a kind of super diplomats. They are not allowed to be political in any way, they have no say over all the things done in their name, at best they can try to advise behind closed doors, but they cannot speak about any policy in public or anything like that. And yeah, its a 24/7 365 a year job. And it is a job, a very hard job. And if ppl want to rage about the cost, they really cannot save much by having an elected figure head instead, who also needs a salary, money for all the representation on behalf of the country. The castles belong to the state and must still be maintained, staff must still be hired and paid. And instead u would get some1 with far less training, experience and preparation to do the job, who would have far less meaning across the world. U might save a small sum of money, but u would get a huge reduced value out of it. Im a royalist. Not coz I worship royalty itself or feel like a lesser subject. A pragmatic royalist, who see, how valuable it objectively is, how hard and restrictive it is, how much it is lifelong service to the nation. And coz I deeply respect these ppl, who work so hard for the country and the ppl, despite having little to no influence on the government of the country and very few choices of their own, while often being hounded and harassed by sensation press and other selfserving entities. Charles has very big shoes to fill. So far he has gotten off to a good start. Yes, he has made mistakes in his life, but he has also been given extremly unfair treatment in many circumstances. I really hope, the scandal sheets will give him time to grieve and to move on with defining himself as King, b4 they start back on their usual vilifications in order to sell more copies. Im off the conviction, that every1 deserves my respect as a default. Its up to them, if they keep it. Elizabeth was an amazing woman, who I only grew to respect more and more. Charles has had ups and downs, but never to losing my respect. The scandal sheets on the other hand.... Still, even as an atheist - RIP Queen Elizabeth. Long live the King. P.S. Sorry for the wall of text. I have neither the patience nor the class to properly suppress my anger at all those, who choose this very moment to be so hateful and disrespectful. I just had to get it off my chest.
@@dfuher968 Agree with nearly everything you say. The monarchy pay into the country more than they take out. Do Republicans really want to risk someone like Trump as US President?
When thinking about The Queen, I tend to think of her promise to serve us for her entire life. That she was working right up until her death was her keeping her promise. How many leaders manage to do that? She has left a void.
King Charles the III has through his charities has helped hundreds of thousands of young people, through out the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth. His behind the scenes work is unsung. His Majesty will make a good King for the UK, and the wider Commonwealth. God Save the King. From Australia 🇦🇺
If it wasn't for his charity Prince's trust I don't think I would be here today to witness such event as this. I wish I could meet majesty(King Charles) to say my thanks to him
@@dannykaa6296 That’s wonderful to hear Danny👍🏻 It is very sad that people have come out from their rocks, and only have negative things to say about the King, but never see the good he has done. I wish you well on your journey Danny.
If you're not familiar with King Charles it's easy to miss the utter devastation behind the professionalism. I have such sympathy for him and all the royal family 💔
Charles was widely mocked for decades for his work on climate and environment- they thought he was crazy. Of course now, he is proved right and his work has been phenomenal. The UK has a green King and for that I am grateful and his accession to the throne now is perfect. I know he’ll be brilliant.
Good luck to anyone who tries to fulfil as many obligations as he does whilst walking from one engagement to the next, with his private security officers. I doubt that they would manage even 10% of what he has been achieving @michellenorris8471 . Incidentally, despite all appearances, the late Queen lifted very modestly in many ways. For instance, look how often she wore the same dresses, coats and hats throughout her 70 years of sheer hard work. And wherever possible she travelled by road or rail. Charles tries to do the same when he has the time to do so.
King Charles is a very erudite and well read person. He went to Cambridge university.As Prince of Wales, Even spent a short time at Aberystwyth university, to learn the Welsh Language. Enough to make a speech. He is a conscientious, deep thinking man on important matters.I personally think he will make an very good King.
Whilst he went to Cambridge he didn't really qualify, he received a B and C in his two A-Levels (the standard is 3) which is certainly a respectable result and better than the majority would have done at the time (especially as most didn't do A-Levels) but it would not have been enough for Cambridge without his status. Prince William received an ABC at A levels (3 A levels one at each of those grades) and went to the University of St Andrews on merit.
Apologise if I'm down playing him. I thought his speech was fantastic and appreciate his environmentalist credentials. I just think its dubious to claim his studying at Cambridge as evidence of anything other than Cambridge ignoring the entry criteria for the heir the the throne back in the day and I'm glad it no longer occurs
@@adamcashin4021 I agree, he wouldn't be a Rocket Scientist. He was privelaged I agree. But he does the best with what he has, he makes the effort. I'm sure he listens to experts in their field, when necessary. Running the Duchy of Cornwall, obviously with help from people who are educated in their field. The Prince's Trust has helped thousands of young people, again with help. One person, as we all know, does not build up a business that employs many people, without help. I've always admired the fact that he his so approachable. Now when most of us are retired, he has to take on such a role. God Save the King 👑
Today I went to the proclamation of the King that was held in my Town today, as it was throughout the whole country. It was amazing to see people of all ages there, singing God save the King. Very moving and powerful.
I did the same Sandra - the mayor reading the proclamation, the bishop praying for the new king and blessing the assembled townsfolk - the singing of the 'new' anthem, nobly assisted by the town band and the three hearty cheers for King Charles III. I agree with you, very moving, extremely powerful on a warm afternoon in 'middle' England.
Relationships with other leaders across the world may change much less than you think. Charles has met and already knows many of them, he has an extremely wide network of contacts, he is very adept diplomatically. He will handle all of that with a deft touch. Charles has been ridiculed for his concern for the environment for decades, and he supports and champions many other causes.
Most Brits, before the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, weren't too happy at the idea that Charles would become King after Queen Elizabeth II, and would have much preferred his son, Prince William, to take the throne instead. However, since the passing of Her Majesty, I believe respect for His Majesty King Charles III has gone up drastically.
I don't think we know what "most Brits" thought about it. The Monarchy is not a popularity contest; he's King. If you want a monarchy you get what you're given.
King Charles writes his own speeches. This moment is too important to ‘wing it’. The Queen was 25 when she came to the throne - February 6, 1952. He is a sensitive man who loves music, has made significant advances in agriculture, and is a well beloved grandfather to the children of Prince William and Princess Catherine. The coronation will occur in several month’s time.
I'm sure he would love to be able to be a good grandfather to the Sussex kids too. He does seem to enjoy being a grandfather. Hopefully the two other grandkids will be brought over to London to meet him.
Great speech. I'm very proud of the way he's conducting himself and the way he's representing our country (and the Commonwealth) already. Good reaction, too. It's interesting hearing outside perspectives. All the best to our American friends.
King Charles III has had a complex history with the British public. However he has become more popular over time. His behaviour and style since he ascended the throne has - in the admittedly short time - been very different, more in contact with people than I’d expected. It’s going to take some getting used to.
It's a sad time over here. Most people have respect for the Monarchy. We her subjects, have lost our servant, HRH Queen Elizabeth II. He has lost his mother. He has had the longest apprenticeship in history and now starts work. He has no time to grieve. We have a new PM, asked by the Queen to form a Government, just 2 days before her death. So we have a time of mourning and celebrations, the Queen has died, God save the King. Our relationship with the Monarchy is not really understood outside of our Nation. They form part of our Constitution. This impacts on us and nations of the Commonwealth, your neighbour, Canada will also have the same issues. We share a Head of State. So ceremonies will be replicated across the World. We look back at our history and look to the future. God bless the King.
People seem to have forgotten that Charles lost his father a year ago, a man who was a very strong influence on him and (so it's reported) whose death came as a severe blow to him.
we have a new prime minister who has never before had a weekly meeting with the monarch. and we have a new monarch who has never held a weekly meeting with a prime minister. I hope they can figure out their roles there with no experience on either side.
He wrote this speech as he was traveling from Balmoral back to London, and when they shot this speech in the Blue Room at Buck Pal, he reads his speech on a teleprompter.
The events that took place yesterday were the official Accession Proclamation of the new King - Charles III at the ancient St James' Palace in London & televised for the very first time in history. The King's actual Coronation will take place much later and will be the absolute pinnacle of British Pomp and Ceremony drawing on centuries old Royal and British traditions. God save the King. And thank you again Tyler for making such a thoughtful and respectful vlog at this momentous time, especially for us here in the UK.
He has been deep into preserving wildlife and really loves going to Africa to meet the people, he was called when younger for being mad about his love of plants and trees saying it will affect the weather, those same people now are saying the same thing.
go look at the ice drills ,like rings on a tree shows its all been going on for millions of years ,plactic in the sea and dumping waste yep not good ,m home work
Yeah some people said he was mad, others respected his views and feelings. At the end of the day it's one of his little quirks that makes him who he is, and makes him someone people can relate to.
@@davebirch1976 I think its good that he's not afraid to air his views on big issues. Some hate it. We don't have to agree with him but he has a right to an opinion in my view.
It wasn't his concern for the environment. He was hardly unique in that. It was his belief in homeopathy and talking to plants that caused people to question his sanity.
Thank you, Tyler, for such a lovely respectful and intuitive review of King Charles' first speech. It was very much appreciated. I have always had a lot of respect for King Charles. A lot of the time, people haven't seen or appreciated all the valuable work that he has done for decades. I think that he will be a wonderful King.
I have to admit, I was really sad to hear the news. She's always been there during my life. My own mother passed two years ago at 93 and when I saw that last picture of the Queen standing in front of the fire at Balmoral two days before her death it brought back a lot of memories of my Mom towards the end. Very frail and obviously failing in health. Really got to me. Losing either parent is so hard, but I think its harder to lose your mother for most.
To put it a little more perspective, they were still producing the Model T Ford the year AFTER the Queen was born. Charles will be a great King as he has had a 70 year apprenticeship under the greatest Monarch of all time, his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. And yes everyone in the Royal line of succession has moved one step forward.
He was very before his time when it came to climate change he was warning us a long time ago I like him. He's a people person he seems to care about people.
Charles became King Immediately his mother died. 2 days later (Saturday) was the official proclamation of his succession. The Coronation - the official ceremony - will take place later in Westminster Abbey, but that is much later. Certainly after the Queen's funeral. The Queen's Coronation was more than a year after her succession, so Charles III's Coronation will probably be some time in 2023.
Clearly put. The role of the Accession Council is historically both to officially confirm the identity of the new monarch and to proclaim this throughout the nation. In times long past, succession was much more subject to dispute--oftentimes to the point of armed conflict. As the succession is now laid down in law such difficulties no longer apply. The proclamation was, in former days, the only way that people outside the immediate royal circles would get the news as riders passed on the copies of the proclamation to be read in cities and towns across the nation. Both roles can now be seen as largely redundant; I doubt that any of the Privy Counselors assembled in St James Palace would have been surprised by the formal announcement by the President of the Council (Penny Mourdant) of the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second nor do riders need to leave the Council post-haste to distribute the news of the accession of Charles III to the people--especially as the ceremony was televised for the first time. Nevertheless, tradition is a part of the glue that holds together the fabric of society. Just as it was important for Liz Truss to kiss hands (no longer literally) when accepting the invitation of her monarch to form a Government, so it was important to publicly acclaim and proclaim that we have one undoubted liege lord, Charles III. As to the coronation, I would guess it will be held in late Spring or early Summer next year so that, even if rain should fall on the waiting crowds, it will be warm rain! If previous royal events are any guide, the keenest will be camping on the streets for at least a couple of days to secure the best vantage points and one doesn't really want to be doing that in mid-winter.
17:15 I found this the most important part of the speech, he’s basically saying he will step down from promoting issues important to him as the monarch has to be non-political. Many people were worried that he got involved too much so it’s reassuring to know.
Yeah, while he's said in the past that he's well aware that as King he'll no longer be able to speak out about issues, it's remained a concern for many people in the UK. Interestingly, many former PMs who have been commenting on their dealings with him over the years have remarked that while he did push various things that he was passionate about, he always remained politically neutral in how he did so.
he got his passion for the environment from his father. Both in their different generations were way ahead of their times. Many years ago people made fun of Charles for his concern about the environment. Now its mainstream politics.
@@lynnek9080 I think he will. He made reference to the same issues when he addressed the Platinum Jubilee Party urging people to work together. He will just quietly crack on with it unlike his brother who makes noise and does nothing.
He has been a divisive figure over the years in the UK. Despite this he has been a champion of climate change and nature before it was in vogue. He has acknowledged this country's dark history with slavery and has been heavily involved in charity work over the years. He seems to have plans to reshape the institution so I think people will embrace him in his role as king
Once again I am touched and pleased about Tyler’s wish to understand things British. One or two things surprise me, such as his being slightly baffled about Camilla, which suggests that he has no knowledge of Diana, Charles’s first wife. She was an international celebrity. Her death at 36 twenty-five years ago shocked the whole world. Charles will be crowned at his Coronation. There is no such word as ‘coronated’ although a few non-British people use it under the illusion that there is. Princess Elizabeth made her commitment to lifelong service on her 21st birthday in 1947. She acceded to the throne on 6 February 1952 by which time she already had Charles and Anne. Andrew and Edward followed in the 1960s. Charles therefore was not born (1948) son of a Queen but grandson of a King. Just to add something which was not mentioned in this video but I suppose you could say that Charles was born to be king, but some people have also said that of his mother, when it would be more accurate to say that she was born with the possibility of perhaps being queen but common sense dictated that this was not likely to happen. It did!
I knew there was something I forgot. Whilst Charles became king on the instant of his mother’s death he will not be crowned for a year or so. He is in every respect the Monarch but he will not go through the religious ceremony where the actual physical crown is placed on his head for a while yet. He is no less the King for all that.
"common sense dictated that this was not likely to happen" On the contrary, before the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, Elizabeth was second in line behind her father, the Duke of York. Edward was already in his forties and without issue so the likelihood was already that Elizabeth would someday become Queen. Looking at an alternative timeline where Edward VIII remained on the throne and was either allowed to marry Wallis Simpson or remained unmarried, he would have still been without issue (he and Wallis never had children), and outlive his younger brother by twenty years thus making Elizabeth heir presumptive. While she would not have come to the throne until 1972 rather than 1952 only the production of a legitimate child by Edward could have changed that destiny.
@@johnkemp8904 it'll probably be less than a year, but it'll be some point next year as it'll be a bank holiday so they need to make sure they can fit it in alongside the other bank holidays. Plus everything needs to planned and worked out.
@@suave-rider yeah a lot of American RUclipsrs are doing videos about this subject now, I personally think any video on RUclips about the Queens death should be demonetized.Although there are a couple who have done it with respect and dignity like JT reacts (who is a big fan of "Lizzy") and Solgal, which is nice to see.
I am so pleased you heard this; it was a lovely speech, in every way. I enjoyed your reaction to it; for someone who had not, up to this point, ever heard or even seen King Charles, then your analysis was thoughtful and perceptive and...well, pretty much 'spot on' 💜
When Queen Victoria was on the throne her son and heir was very unpopular yet when he succeeded her and became Edward VII he was a great and much loved king. The weird thing about Charles becoming king at 73 is that he is only 3 years younger than when Louis XIV of France died who was the longest reigning monarch in history, beating Elizabeth II by 2 years. Mind you he became king when he was just 5 years old whereas she was 27.
I can honestly say that king Charles lll speach was very well received, I think he will make a great king. the British people for the most part are whole heartily behind him. RIP our wonderful Queen ❤
It must also be remembered that many of the Royal Family have also seen active service in the military (Army, Navy and Airforce). Prince Philip was in the Navy in WW2 along with his Uncle Lord Mountbatten (who was latter assassinated by the IRA - hence the Queen’s reply to the IRA’s McGuinness, in your earlier video, “well I’m still alive”, as Mountbatten was her Uncle). The Queen herself served as a ambulance driver and mechanic at the end of WW2. Charles was a Captain in the Navy in charge of a ship during the Cold War, he also served in the Airforce. Andrew was a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War including acting as a decoy for incoming Exocet missiles from Argentina forces. William served as a helicopter pilot for the RAF’s Search and Rescue service before going on to pilot a helicopter for East Anglia Air Ambulance service. Harry served in the Army including two tours of active service in Afghanistan during the hight of the conflict. He then was the driving force behind the Invictus Games. So the medals they wear aren’t just for show :)
I have friends in the USA and they have all at one point or other thought the next Monarch would be someone other than Charles III despite being told he was the heir several times. Another has spent the week telling people the new king is NOT William
@@AmethystDew the reason we had a Queen in the first place was due to an American divorced woman marrying into the Royal family and making her husband leave itall. Thankfully the second time it happened Harry was only a Prince and not the king of England.
@@kirstygunn9149 I'm from the U.K. and Wallis Simpson was not the reason Elizabeth was on the throne. If events had played out as King Edward VIII and Wallis simpson wanted, and they became King and Queen, their main problem would have been that they had no children. King Edward VIII's closest relative was his brother Albert and his children would have been heirs to the Crown. As it was Albert's eldest child who was a girl, was always going to have inherited the title of Queen - Elizabeth. So she would still have been monarch, but would have come to the throne later on EdwardVIII's death in 1972. The crown always finds the head! 👑
Tyler, you deserve huge praise for this. Normally I think you pause way too much, but every point you made here was insightful and respectful. I especially like that you picked up on the word 'love' - how many world leaders use that word?! The King is a kind, sensitive and misunderstood man. I believe he'll follow dutifully in his mother's footsteps. Thanks from an emotional Brit :-)
Surely, even as an American, you’ve heard of Charles’ first wife and mother of William and Harry, Princess Diana. He was obliged to marry Diana, as future king, the whole time being in love with Camilla. Diana once stated in an interview that there were 3 people in their marriage, referring to Camilla. Camilla was not an acceptable wife for a future king, due to her dating history and the fact that she was not a virgin. Charles and Diana eventually divorced. Diana’s life was cut short in a tragic car crash, as she was being pursued by the paparazzi. Years later the queen finally allowed Charles and Camilla to marry.
Charles had to push for that really hard! Camilla had always been the true love of his life and he wasn't going to let the establishment keep them apart any longer!
He probably wrote this some time ago, after he's had plenty of time to do so, and then read it out using a teleprompter. No need to recite the speech from memory or make it up on the fly.
@@AlexEwan1 It’s not that hard to learn a speech. I think Prince Charles did amateur dramatics at Cambridge, and he has fifty-odd years experience of giving speeches. I’m sure he can learn his lines.
Tyler Rumple - I always thought this anecdote was hilarious. She was out for a country walk in Scotland with her bodyguard when they began talking to an American couple. They knew the Queen came to Scotland in the summer and asked if they ever met her. She said she hadn't but he had, LOL. They asked what she was like and he said she could be a curmudgeon. They asked the Queen if she would take their photo with him because he KNEW the Queen. She did and when they left she chuckled, they will get a surprise when they realize who I am.
I remember the Queen a few years ago when she was at Ascot racecourse to present the trophy to the winner of the big horse race. Her horse ended up winning the race lol
Princess Elisabeth was 25 years old when she became Queen in 1952. He was married to the late Diana Princess of Wales between 1981-1996 when they divorced, Diana died in a car crash in August 1997 in Paris.
Charles is actually quite an emotional person. I've been impressed by the way he's stepped up to the plate and am hopeful for the continuation of the Monarchy. Republicanism has risen a bit in the UK over the last few years (Andrew didn't help). I'm prepared to go with the flow should we ever vote the Monarchy out but on the other hand, I'd be rather sad.
This has been quite startling for us in the UK. England was formed in 927 by King Athelstan, and our monarchy is descended from his brother, Edmund I; they are also descended from the first King of the Picts and Scots, Kenneth MacAlpin, in 843. ( And - rather by accident - from the ancient Princes of Wales and Irish Kings.) So the long line goes on, and our instinct is to rally round. His Coronation won't be for months. It takes a lot of organising! He has 'Acceded' to the throne, and yesterday this was confirmed by an Accession Council. For the first time - by his order - the Accession Council was televised. You may find this Council both boring and baffling, but I was riveted. There is a UK institution you may not have come across yet: the Privy Council. Senior politicians - and some others, notably including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York - are appointed to this, and they are appointed for life, and can call themselves 'Right Honourable'. This body numbers in the hundreds, but it has a very low quorum, and carries out certain formal functions. The monarch is usually present. But in the Accession Council they nearly all turn up, so, for example, in addition to the present Prime Minister, there were six former Prime Ministers! Penny Mordaunt - a Conservative politician - didn't get to be Prime Minister, so two days ago she got the minor Cabinet post of 'Lord President of the Council'. That meant she had to chair the whole thing, which she did quite well. Also in attendance was the Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk; his family have held the job since 1320... All true British ceremonial is very slightly bonkers. The King wasn't there to start with, and the Council agreed to proclaim him King. They then invited him in, and he approved the Proclamation, and the gun salutes which were made yesterday; he also had to swear to uphold the Church of Scotland, and agree that the official seals of Government - all made in his mother's name - would temporarily be valid. If you don't manage to see the Accession Council, do try to see the Principal Proclamation, which is quite short. The Council and the Principal Proclamation are held in an older Palace than Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace. The State Trumpeters and the Heralds ( the Kings of Arms and Pursuivants) are all present, and Garter King of Arms reads the magnificent wording of the Proclamation. King Charles hasn't always behaved well, but about one thing he has been solid for decades- climate change and our damage to the environment- often having been ridiculed for it in the past. His father first spoke about the danger in 1982, and seems to been the first important person to speak about 'global warming'. Meanwhile, we are all trying to get our heads round the change. At the end of our church service this morning we sang the National Anthem. Boy, did we have to concentrate! You see, the wording's changed. It's no longer 'God save our gracious Queen', but 'God save our gracious King', and we keep having to change 'her' to 'his'.
The Duchy of Cornwall is not just a title. It’s one of the biggest land ownerships in England and generates approx £20million per year in revenue, which pays for several of the royals. As custodian of the Duchy, Charles changed it to be hugely organic, environmentally friendly and there is also a range of products, a purpose built town etc - it’s basically like a massive business.
It’s interesting. Just for the Americans, he had a famous ‘mom’ called the Queen. She lived in a county called Ingerlanaland and wore a nice hat. A hat is something you put on your head. 😀
He's American, so the most his leader can do is 8 years, so forgive him when he just doesn't get " a life of service" it's not something he or most of his young nation will ever get, GOD SAVE THE KING!
You will probably have heard of him before as Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, which was his official title prior to his mother's death. He's been prepared for this day for years, but that doesn't stop the day itself of coming as a shock. To put the Queen's length of reign in perspective, the first American President she met after being crowned was Eisenhower. And this speech is one he will have written himself, but it'll have been on teleprompter. Camilla is Charles's second wife. William and Harry are his children by his first marriage. The biggest change for Charles will be that he has always been outspoken on environmental issues, and as King he will officially be "above politics" and not be allowed to make controversial statements.
Charles has grown up his entire life in the media. You will find hours and hours of his ups and downs from his birth to the present day everywhere on YT and elsewhere throughout modern day media.
The King is an accomplished speech giver and aided by a teleprompter. What he is saying is he will be akin to his late mother in his reign, but also care for all faiths. Yes William inherits all his father's previous roles as he is now heir to the throne. I am delighted to have William and Catherine as our new Prince and Princess of Wales :)
He's now the head of the Church of England so the religious ending is not unexpected... He's also the titular head of the UK government and the Commonwealth of Nations - all 54 of them.
Que sera sera. Australia has responded by saying they will NOT become a Republic but stand with the monarchy. KnowingCharles as a child and playboy and activist, we has fears of him asa king, this speech reassured us all. He was always way ahead of his time, laughed at for his playing music to flowers and his love of the environment, now mainstream. Harry has broken his heart.
Near the end you can see his emotions in his face. It’s so sad to see anyone lose their mother or a loved one whether you are a young person or in this case a 73 year old man, especially one that has to grieve in the public eye. It has been a strange feeling for the last few days, there’s been a kind of numbness and sadness, not over the top grief but still a disbelief that a constant like the Queen is no longer here. Next Monday (19th) is going to be a day of respect and sadness. 😢
Tyler, you have to bear in mind that anyone and everyone here in the U.K. under the age of 75 won't ever remember when we didn't have H.M. Queen Elizabeth II as our Monarch - I doubt very much if there was any 5 year-old around at that time who even understood who the Monarch was in 1952 when she ascended the throne, don't you? She was the constant in all of our lives over the past 7 decades or so and it seems so strange to most of us here that we now have a king instead of a queen as our Monarch and Head of State.....considering that his mother was around for all of those decades it's going to take all of us Brits a wee bit of time to get used to having him as our new king. As to your point about whether or not he has a sense of humour that he inherited from his 'Dear Mama' he most certainly does and is renowned for being just as witty and funny as his late mother. That's understandable because he's been the heir to the throne since he was aged 4 and was Prince of Wales from the age of 9 until just 2 days ago, isn't it? That's a pretty long 'apprenticeship' by anyone's standards therefore he's had over 70 years of practise and preparedness to become king, hasn't he? The only thing that any of us can do - not just here in the U.K. but around the world - is to be patient and listen to him and what he said during this speech of his. He wants to continue the legacy of what his mother created during her long reign and we Brits are with him on that score. He's even more of a moderniser than Queen Elizabeth II was and has his own passions especially when it comes to environmental issues and his other personal interests. As I just read today it's thought that he's going to change the U.K. Royal Family to be similar to the Scandinavian models that have been around in Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the longest time and personally speaking I'm fine with that. Far too many people have been saying in the past couple of days that our U.K. Monarchy should be abolished now that the Queen's died but they really haven't thought about what the alternative will be, have they? The only alternative would be for us to turn into a Republic and have a newly elected President every four or five years which the vast majority of us Brits wouldn't tolerate - especially when we look at the way things are in your own country where your former President STILL hasn't accepted the fact that he lost his own reelection almost 2 years ago, has he? Unlike the U.S.A. we're not afraid of change and modernisation here in the U.K. and we look forward with optimism to the future rather than trying to dwell on the past. Our history remains where it belongs, i.e. in reference books, so that we don't make the same mistakes as we did before whereas your history seems as though your country's trying to use it as a template for the future and is doomed to failure especially when you try to impose late 18th and early 19th Century antiquated principles and morals in the modern world, isn't it? R.I.P. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and God Save King Charles III. ✌😁✌🇬🇧
Charles also studied drama at uni so he’s good in the spotlight. He knows how to deliver lines with the correct impact. His mother delivered the first televised Christmas massage. Charles grew up with tv and cameras (but it did annoy him at times).
its so weird to think that most of us alive now will live to see a queen and 2 Kings at least by the time we pass on. Charles is 73, his son William (next in line) is in his 40s now too, then it will pass to his oldest son after that, etc etc :)
My mother was born in 1935 has lived through 5 monarchs, starting with the last few months of George V's reign. I honestly thought that though the Queen was getting visibly more frail, she would have a while left. I'm just so pleased that she got passed her jubilee
The King hasn't received his coronation yet. It'll probably happen in the next 12 months, I should kmagine. It'll be a huge event since our last coronation was in 1953.
I once met King Charles many years ago I didn't know what to expect but he broke out a joke and was great to be around. I believe he is going to be great for aslong as he's king.
He was very prepared. They have been preparing him for 73 years. Not only was the Queen the longest serving British Monarch Charles was the longest serving Heir Apparent. He has served as Prince Of Wales since 1969 where he was invested at Caernarfon Castle. I remember that ceremony so well being a Welsh woman. I was 11 at the time. I like him very much. He is not liked by many but we can’t all like everyone. I think he will make an amazing King and I hope he has a fairly long reign although I shouldn’t think he will reach his Silver Jubilee although given the longevity of his mother, father and grandmother you never know. His grandmother Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was 101 years old when she passed. His father was a month off his 100th birthday and as we know his mother was 96 so you never know. God Save the King ❤️
British Stiff Upper Lip! He's a Great Man & one our first Green Activists even working with David Attenborough etc..... great channel mate been with you since 600 sub's - Love from England
I’m sure Charles will do the queen and the nation proud as he becomes king. His popularity has grown a lot in his mature years. I was in awe of the way he delivered that speech to millions of people live after just loosing his mum, Amazing courage. Really reassured me that we had the right man to represent the British people to the world.
He lost both his parents within 2 years & I sympathize with him greatly, even if he's not a popular member of the monarchy from the nation's point of view. He is under a great deal of pressure. God Bless the King!🇬🇧❤️
He became very unpopular during his marriage breakdown to princess Diana but his standing with the public has steadily improved since. Saying that, he is unlikely to ever have the respect admiration or popularity his mother had.
Let's be clear, he became unpopular because at the time the truth of Diana's mental problems were not known, her manipulation of the media was not understood, nor was the general public aware of the extent of her serial adultery. Since her death these truths have come out, Lady Colin Campbell's book is particularly interesting coming from an insider....
I think you are wrong, he will be a good King for his people. Reaching his mothers level, no, but for that he simply do not have enough time, but to be beloved, absolutely.
Charles has done a lot of good work for charity and has always been passionate about the environment and conservation, he is a good man and I am happy to have him as my King.
As a Brit I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised not just by King Charles III but also by the way the public has responded to him. I remember the 90s and the dramas and scandals, but just as the Queen overcame that to become far more loved than I would have expected he seems to have done the same. One of the biggest surprises for everyone is that he and Camilla have met the public crowds several times over the last few days. No one expected them to do that, they didn't have to, but after viewing the flowers and notes left by the public they turned to walk along the crowd and shake hands and greet people. King Charles allegedly wants a more "slimmed down" Monarchy, with fewer members in the public eye, but I also think he wants those fewer members to be more public. He's also a dedicated environmentalist who's campaigned for decades on matters of sustainability, natural habitats and wildlife, so I would imagine he's going to utilize his new position to push that forward even more. I think we're in very good hands with King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine. This will be the core of the British Royal family going forward and I imagine they're going to do a wonderful job, as they have been.
The new King Charles is a lovely man and is very compassionate and aware of his position and how that can help those less able to help themselves. He set up The Princes Trust when he was Prince of Wales and it has helped so many young people in the U.K. to get established or to start their own businesses. The drama with Meghan Markle is ongoing and one of the most awful things she threw at the people of the U.K. and also at the Royal Family is that they were racist. This slur seems to have been aimed at Charles which is quite unforgivable, as his care for the race relations in the U.K. is exemplary. It was suggested at one point that Charles, who is now the head of the Church of England and holds the title Defender of the Faith, was going to change the wording to Defender of Faiths. This, the better to reflect the changing face of the different faiths in modern day U.K. He was married to Princess Diana and she is the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry. Charles married Camilla in 2005. One last badass thing about the Queen - On Tuesday 6th September she met her Liz Truss, to swear her in as the U.K.'s new Prime Minister. This would be a very important, professional, constitutional and political meeting. She died on Thursday 8th. She literally did her duty to her death as she pledged to do on her 21st birthday. Can anybody top that? This why she is so beloved. 💔👑🕯 God Bless The Queen and God Save The King.
It’s so nice to see you exploring our monarchy, and some of our culture. Your fresh take on what you see is so interesting. Charles became King the moment Her Majesty, the Queen died. The way it is characterised is “The Queen is dead, long live the King” in this case. Everything will change now, coins and bank notes will bear the King’s head instead of the Queen’s. Postage stamps too, etc etc. William Is now first in line to the throne, followed by his young sons George and Louis. After the huge event of the Queen’s funeral on 20th September, there will be the King ceremonial Coronation when he will be crowned in public view.
It will be the first time since decimalisation of our coinage that there will be more than one monarch's head on coins in circulation. Before decimalisation coins were legal tender bearing the heads of our monarchs back to Queen Victoria, though people like myself used to collect them if we thought them unusual, and 'worn' coins were also withdrawn for re-minting.
You make a good point of Her Majesty being one of the last global figures. It is this acknowledgement of the end of an era, that adds to the mourning of the nation and of the Commonwealth of nations Queen Elisabeth II was head of State. I believe King Charles III wrote this speech the evening of her death. I look forward to the coming months when we all learn a little more of how the Monarchy, as exists in UK, plays a part in the demokrati, as we lead up to the coronation of King Charles III. Thankyou for your video
Majority of England the Commonwealth adore King Charles. There are always the doom and gloom persons. He has always been a firm believer in Climate change initiatives, Education and Health.. God Save The King..
He was reading it from auto queue but he wrote it himself on the day. Strong speech very personal and regal. Thank you for your respect in reviewing the speech. Some have not been quite so graceful.
King Charles III takes the throne at the ripe old age of 73, the next in line Prince William (Henry's - aka Harry's brother) is 40. So we aren't looking for a record breaking reign like queen Elizabeth II managed. Charles grew up on TV everybody knew everything he said, did, got wrong and experimented with... At 73 he's an older statesman now, maybe Henry (aka Harry) will one day mature enough to Don the responsibility and duty of service to a nation. I've made my jokes like everyone else. But this man has my respect. He has spent his entire life preparing for this, and more importantly not just hanging around waiting, he was active himself. I didn't always agree with his thinking, but he has stood the test of time and mellowed over the years. Let's hope he was able to learn Elizabeth's tact, diplomacy and soft influence application.
@@frankhooper7871 Baring a severe accident taking Williams entire family, Henry (aka Harry) will never be king. William and Catherine have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. All of them have a higher claim to the throne, but each of them also have their offspring ahead of Henry (aka Harry). Henry (aka Harry) may be 5th in line now but any offspring from any of Williams children, grandchildren etc have a higher claim to the crown than Henry (aka Harry). Charles has just ascended the throne at 73, William is 40 so there's decades before it reaches his kids, by then they'll be a brood of kids all with a higher claim to the throne. Any way Henry (aka Harry) should have abdicated any claim to the throne when he abdicated all duty, responsibility and work to go live in Canada, then America. He can do what he wants, but he can't remain in the royal family tree afterwards... No ones saying he can't be a Mountbatten-Windsor (which is their family name) but he abandoned his royal titles, duties and responsibilities.
His Majesty is a man way ahead of his time.He was making speeches in the 1970's about the dangers of plastic pollution and the environment.Most people thought he was a crank,
The King has had an up and down relationship with the British public over the years and decades, but in recent times his popularity has grown, and he was welcomed with rapturous cheers and chants of “God Save The King!” When he entered Buckingham palace for the first time as monarch. Fundamentally, the British people respect the office of Sovereign and head of state above all else, Charles is our King, and representative of our people, and our nation, therefore he has the full support of the majority.
Not all of us, many of us want a republic
@@DK-cy5mtThe writer's foresight to respect alternative viewpoints, is evident with the use of the final word. Majority instead of all.
@@DK-cy5mt your "many of us" mean only less than 1% of UK population
I've always liked him and the Queen and Diana ofc and a few others although not a royalist per se, the Queen was an extraordinary woman.
@@DK-cy5mt What, have a pantomime every four years, Politicians slagging each other off, some very shady characters vying with each other with insults, innuendos, accusations of crimes, etc.
At 91 the Queen was carrying out 296 public engagements per year.
Her daughter Anne, the Princess Royal on her busiest year carried out 455 official appearances at events, dinners, and receptions at home, with an additional 85 engagements overseas.
Yes they are privileged, but tell me who of you could conduct so many engagements where you have to be kind, polite, interested and informed? Damn sure I couldn't.
Their diaries are full 3 months in advance, so they don't get to pull a duvet day if they just can't be bothered......
To be fair, I couldn't handle one. I haven't got the patience or class to tolerate these sort of engagements😂😂
The Monarch is a slave of the State. Getting to live in Windsor Castle is poor compensation for that.
Yeah, those claiming, that these are lazy, entitled ppl living a life of luxury on the public dime without even lifting a finger, are really truly willfully ignorant. Not to mention just plain meanspirited whiners. I really dont know what else to call ppl, who must have been living on a different planet, if they truly believe that crap.
Personally, I do not envy royals 1 bit. Sure, they have job security, quite a nice living and a lot of deference shown to them. But they also have very little freedom. Their lives are decided for them by birth, their every moment public. Their education starts from the time, they start walking with the single goal of being good and worthy representatives of their country, a kind of super diplomats. They are not allowed to be political in any way, they have no say over all the things done in their name, at best they can try to advise behind closed doors, but they cannot speak about any policy in public or anything like that.
And yeah, its a 24/7 365 a year job. And it is a job, a very hard job. And if ppl want to rage about the cost, they really cannot save much by having an elected figure head instead, who also needs a salary, money for all the representation on behalf of the country. The castles belong to the state and must still be maintained, staff must still be hired and paid. And instead u would get some1 with far less training, experience and preparation to do the job, who would have far less meaning across the world. U might save a small sum of money, but u would get a huge reduced value out of it.
Im a royalist. Not coz I worship royalty itself or feel like a lesser subject. A pragmatic royalist, who see, how valuable it objectively is, how hard and restrictive it is, how much it is lifelong service to the nation. And coz I deeply respect these ppl, who work so hard for the country and the ppl, despite having little to no influence on the government of the country and very few choices of their own, while often being hounded and harassed by sensation press and other selfserving entities.
Charles has very big shoes to fill. So far he has gotten off to a good start. Yes, he has made mistakes in his life, but he has also been given extremly unfair treatment in many circumstances. I really hope, the scandal sheets will give him time to grieve and to move on with defining himself as King, b4 they start back on their usual vilifications in order to sell more copies.
Im off the conviction, that every1 deserves my respect as a default. Its up to them, if they keep it. Elizabeth was an amazing woman, who I only grew to respect more and more. Charles has had ups and downs, but never to losing my respect. The scandal sheets on the other hand....
Still, even as an atheist - RIP Queen Elizabeth. Long live the King.
P.S. Sorry for the wall of text. I have neither the patience nor the class to properly suppress my anger at all those, who choose this very moment to be so hateful and disrespectful. I just had to get it off my chest.
@@dfuher968 💯 agree you explained it perfectly 🥰
@@dfuher968
Agree with nearly everything you say. The monarchy pay into the country more than they take out. Do Republicans really want to risk someone like Trump as US President?
When thinking about The Queen, I tend to think of her promise to serve us for her entire life. That she was working right up until her death was her keeping her promise. How many leaders manage to do that? She has left a void.
King Charles the III has through his charities has helped hundreds of thousands of young people, through out the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth.
His behind the scenes work is unsung.
His Majesty will make a good King for the UK, and the wider Commonwealth.
God Save the King.

If it wasn't for his charity Prince's trust I don't think I would be here today to witness such event as this. I wish I could meet majesty(King Charles) to say my thanks to him
@@dannykaa6296
That’s wonderful to hear Danny👍🏻
It is very sad that people have come out from their rocks, and only have negative things to say about the King, but never see the good he has done.
I wish you well on your journey Danny.
If you're not familiar with King Charles it's easy to miss the utter devastation behind the professionalism. I have such sympathy for him and all the royal family 💔
Charles was widely mocked for decades for his work on climate and environment- they thought he was crazy. Of course now, he is proved right and his work has been phenomenal. The UK has a green King and for that I am grateful and his accession to the throne now is perfect. I know he’ll be brilliant.
Good luck to anyone who tries to fulfil as many obligations as he does whilst walking from one engagement to the next, with his private security officers. I doubt that they would manage even 10% of what he has been achieving @michellenorris8471 . Incidentally, despite all appearances, the late Queen lifted very modestly in many ways. For instance, look how often she wore the same dresses, coats and hats throughout her 70 years of sheer hard work. And wherever possible she travelled by road or rail. Charles tries to do the same when he has the time to do so.
@michellenorris8471Depending on his engagements. Makes sense to me.
King Charles is a very erudite and well read person. He went to Cambridge university.As Prince of Wales, Even spent a short time at Aberystwyth university, to learn the Welsh Language. Enough to make a speech. He is a conscientious, deep thinking man on important matters.I personally think he will make an very good King.
Whilst he went to Cambridge he didn't really qualify, he received a B and C in his two A-Levels (the standard is 3) which is certainly a respectable result and better than the majority would have done at the time (especially as most didn't do A-Levels) but it would not have been enough for Cambridge without his status. Prince William received an ABC at A levels (3 A levels one at each of those grades) and went to the University of St Andrews on merit.
Apologise if I'm down playing him. I thought his speech was fantastic and appreciate his environmentalist credentials. I just think its dubious to claim his studying at Cambridge as evidence of anything other than Cambridge ignoring the entry criteria for the heir the the throne back in the day and I'm glad it no longer occurs
@@adamcashin4021 I agree, he wouldn't be a Rocket Scientist. He was privelaged I agree. But he does the best with what he has, he makes the effort. I'm sure he listens to experts in their field, when necessary. Running the Duchy of Cornwall, obviously with help from people who are educated in their field. The Prince's Trust has helped thousands of young people, again with help. One person, as we all know, does not build up a business that employs many people, without help. I've always admired the fact that he his so approachable. Now when most of us are retired, he has to take on such a role. God Save the King 👑
@@adamcashin4021 Throne not thrown!!!
@@adamcashin4021 By "the the thrown", I presume that you mean "to the throne".
Today I went to the proclamation of the King that was held in my Town today, as it was throughout the whole country. It was amazing to see people of all ages there, singing God save the King. Very moving and powerful.
I did the same Sandra - the mayor reading the proclamation, the bishop praying for the new king and blessing the assembled townsfolk - the singing of the 'new' anthem, nobly assisted by the town band and the three hearty cheers for King Charles III.
I agree with you, very moving, extremely powerful on a warm afternoon in 'middle' England.
Relationships with other leaders across the world may change much less than you think. Charles has met and already knows many of them, he has an extremely wide network of contacts, he is very adept diplomatically. He will handle all of that with a deft touch. Charles has been ridiculed for his concern for the environment for decades, and he supports and champions many other causes.
Most Brits, before the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, weren't too happy at the idea that Charles would become King after Queen Elizabeth II, and would have much preferred his son, Prince William, to take the throne instead. However, since the passing of Her Majesty, I believe respect for His Majesty King Charles III has gone up drastically.
I thought this too but now I back him 100%
I think that was more to do with the marriage breakup and reconnecting with Camilla, which is old news now.
I don't think we know what "most Brits" thought about it. The Monarchy is not a popularity contest; he's King. If you want a monarchy you get what you're given.
@@shellieeyre8758 tell that to Charles I mate
"Most?"
King Charles writes his own speeches. This moment is too important to ‘wing it’. The Queen was 25 when she came to the throne - February 6, 1952. He is a sensitive man who loves music, has made significant advances in agriculture, and is a well beloved grandfather to the children of Prince William and Princess Catherine. The coronation will occur in several month’s time.
I'm sure he would love to be able to be a good grandfather to the Sussex kids too. He does seem to enjoy being a grandfather.
Hopefully the two other grandkids will be brought over to London to meet him.
In his first few days The King has done many public walkabouts and met many subjects and he will be popular and glorious. Long live King Charles
Great speech. I'm very proud of the way he's conducting himself and the way he's representing our country (and the Commonwealth) already. Good reaction, too. It's interesting hearing outside perspectives. All the best to our American friends.
His message was perfectly balanced & the reassurance of continuity is exactly what we needed
A wonderful response, Tyler. And yes, he has an EXCELLENT sense of humour, and love of the absurd!
He was a great fan of The Goons ( peter Sellers ,Spike Milligan etc ) ,as was I 😁
King Charles III has had a complex history with the British public. However he has become more popular over time. His behaviour and style since he ascended the throne has - in the admittedly short time - been very different, more in contact with people than I’d expected. It’s going to take some getting used to.
It's a sad time over here. Most people have respect for the Monarchy. We her subjects, have lost our servant, HRH Queen Elizabeth II. He has lost his mother. He has had the longest apprenticeship in history and now starts work. He has no time to grieve. We have a new PM, asked by the Queen to form a Government, just 2 days before her death. So we have a time of mourning and celebrations, the Queen has died, God save the King. Our relationship with the Monarchy is not really understood outside of our Nation. They form part of our Constitution. This impacts on us and nations of the Commonwealth, your neighbour, Canada will also have the same issues. We share a Head of State. So ceremonies will be replicated across the World. We look back at our history and look to the future. God bless the King.
People seem to have forgotten that Charles lost his father a year ago, a man who was a very strong influence on him and (so it's reported) whose death came as a severe blow to him.
@@xmfclick that's life. People get old.
HM, not HRH.
we have a new prime minister who has never before had a weekly meeting with the monarch. and we have a new monarch who has never held a weekly meeting with a prime minister. I hope they can figure out their roles there with no experience on either side.
@@suzannehawkins383 I think Charles will, not sure about that chocolate teapot Truss...
Really felt for him at the end there...very choked up....and me too.
God save the King!
He wrote this speech as he was traveling from Balmoral back to London, and when they shot this speech in the Blue Room at Buck Pal, he reads his speech on a teleprompter.
The events that took place yesterday were the official Accession Proclamation of the new King - Charles III at the ancient St James' Palace in London & televised for the very first time in history. The King's actual Coronation will take place much later and will be the absolute pinnacle of British Pomp and Ceremony drawing on centuries old Royal and British traditions. God save the King. And thank you again Tyler for making such a thoughtful and respectful vlog at this momentous time, especially for us here in the UK.
The Coronation is a symbolic formality as Charles became King on the death of his mother and this has been ratified with the Accession on Saturday.
He has been deep into preserving wildlife and really loves going to Africa to meet the people, he was called when younger for being mad about his love of plants and trees saying it will affect the weather, those same people now are saying the same thing.
go look at the ice drills ,like rings on a tree shows its all been going on for millions of years ,plactic in the sea and dumping waste yep not good ,m home work
Yeah some people said he was mad, others respected his views and feelings. At the end of the day it's one of his little quirks that makes him who he is, and makes him someone people can relate to.
@@davebirch1976 I think its good that he's not afraid to air his views on big issues. Some hate it. We don't have to agree with him but he has a right to an opinion in my view.
@@sunseeker9581 oh yeah definitely, again it makes him more relatable for us as it shows they also have views same as us.
It wasn't his concern for the environment. He was hardly unique in that. It was his belief in homeopathy and talking to plants that caused people to question his sanity.
Elizabeth was queen for 30% of the existence of the USA
Long Live the King of Australia! 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇨🇦🇳🇿
I very much like King Charles. Will make a fabulous King. God save the King. 🇬🇧👍🙏
Thank you, Tyler, for such a lovely respectful and intuitive review of King Charles' first speech. It was very much appreciated.
I have always had a lot of respect for King Charles. A lot of the time, people haven't seen or appreciated all the valuable work that he has done for decades.
I think that he will be a wonderful King.
I have to admit, I was really sad to hear the news. She's always been there during my life. My own mother passed two years ago at 93 and when I saw that last picture of the Queen standing in front of the fire at Balmoral two days before her death it brought back a lot of memories of my Mom towards the end. Very frail and obviously failing in health. Really got to me. Losing either parent is so hard, but I think its harder to lose your mother for most.
I find that photo hard to see she looked just like my mum who died 3 years ago.
To put it a little more perspective, they were still producing the Model T Ford the year AFTER the Queen was born.
Charles will be a great King as he has had a 70 year apprenticeship under the greatest Monarch of all time, his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
And yes everyone in the Royal line of succession has moved one step forward.
Another bit of perspective - she was born one year before television was invented.
He was very before his time when it came to climate change he was warning us a long time ago I like him. He's a people person he seems to care about people.
Charles became King Immediately his mother died. 2 days later (Saturday) was the official proclamation of his succession. The Coronation - the official ceremony - will take place later in Westminster Abbey, but that is much later. Certainly after the Queen's funeral. The Queen's Coronation was more than a year after her succession, so Charles III's Coronation will probably be some time in 2023.
Clearly put. The role of the Accession Council is historically both to officially confirm the identity of the new monarch and to proclaim this throughout the nation. In times long past, succession was much more subject to dispute--oftentimes to the point of armed conflict. As the succession is now laid down in law such difficulties no longer apply.
The proclamation was, in former days, the only way that people outside the immediate royal circles would get the news as riders passed on the copies of the proclamation to be read in cities and towns across the nation.
Both roles can now be seen as largely redundant; I doubt that any of the Privy Counselors assembled in St James Palace would have been surprised by the formal announcement by the President of the Council (Penny Mourdant) of the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second nor do riders need to leave the Council post-haste to distribute the news of the accession of Charles III to the people--especially as the ceremony was televised for the first time. Nevertheless, tradition is a part of the glue that holds together the fabric of society. Just as it was important for Liz Truss to kiss hands (no longer literally) when accepting the invitation of her monarch to form a Government, so it was important to publicly acclaim and proclaim that we have one undoubted liege lord, Charles III.
As to the coronation, I would guess it will be held in late Spring or early Summer next year so that, even if rain should fall on the waiting crowds, it will be warm rain! If previous royal events are any guide, the keenest will be camping on the streets for at least a couple of days to secure the best vantage points and one doesn't really want to be doing that in mid-winter.
17:15 I found this the most important part of the speech, he’s basically saying he will step down from promoting issues important to him as the monarch has to be non-political. Many people were worried that he got involved too much so it’s reassuring to know.
Yeah, while he's said in the past that he's well aware that as King he'll no longer be able to speak out about issues, it's remained a concern for many people in the UK. Interestingly, many former PMs who have been commenting on their dealings with him over the years have remarked that while he did push various things that he was passionate about, he always remained politically neutral in how he did so.
he got his passion for the environment from his father. Both in their different generations were way ahead of their times. Many years ago people made fun of Charles for his concern about the environment. Now its mainstream politics.
@@1chish yeah he has been passionate about it way before it was even seen as a political issue.
I have a feeling the new Prince of Wales will take on these.
@@lynnek9080 I think he will. He made reference to the same issues when he addressed the Platinum Jubilee Party urging people to work together. He will just quietly crack on with it unlike his brother who makes noise and does nothing.
He writes his own speeches, so this is his own words.
🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧. Rest In Peace, beloved Queen. Long live the King of Canada!
Well Said, I second what you say! RIP Good Queen Elizabeth.
He has been a divisive figure over the years in the UK. Despite this he has been a champion of climate change and nature before it was in vogue. He has acknowledged this country's dark history with slavery and has been heavily involved in charity work over the years. He seems to have plans to reshape the institution so I think people will embrace him in his role as king
Once again I am touched and pleased about Tyler’s wish to understand things British.
One or two things surprise me, such as his being slightly baffled about Camilla, which suggests that he has no knowledge of Diana, Charles’s first wife. She was an international celebrity. Her death at 36 twenty-five years ago shocked the whole world.
Charles will be crowned at his Coronation. There is no such word as ‘coronated’ although a few non-British people use it under the illusion that there is.
Princess Elizabeth made her commitment to lifelong service on her 21st birthday in 1947. She acceded to the throne on 6 February 1952 by which time she already had Charles and Anne. Andrew and Edward followed in the 1960s. Charles therefore was not born (1948) son of a Queen but grandson of a King.
Just to add something which was not mentioned in this video but I suppose you could say that Charles was born to be king, but some people have also said that of his mother, when it would be more accurate to say that she was born with the possibility of perhaps being queen but common sense dictated that this was not likely to happen. It did!
I knew there was something I forgot. Whilst Charles became king on the instant of his mother’s death he will not be crowned for a year or so. He is in every respect the Monarch but he will not go through the religious ceremony where the actual physical crown is placed on his head for a while yet. He is no less the King for all that.
"common sense dictated that this was not likely to happen" On the contrary, before the abdication of her uncle, Edward VIII, Elizabeth was second in line behind her father, the Duke of York. Edward was already in his forties and without issue so the likelihood was already that Elizabeth would someday become Queen.
Looking at an alternative timeline where Edward VIII remained on the throne and was either allowed to marry Wallis Simpson or remained unmarried, he would have still been without issue (he and Wallis never had children), and outlive his younger brother by twenty years thus making Elizabeth heir presumptive. While she would not have come to the throne until 1972 rather than 1952 only the production of a legitimate child by Edward could have changed that destiny.
@@johnkemp8904 it'll probably be less than a year, but it'll be some point next year as it'll be a bank holiday so they need to make sure they can fit it in alongside the other bank holidays. Plus everything needs to planned and worked out.
I am touched by his typical American ignorance of anything outside the US border. He does these videos for views/money, not truly out of curiosity
@@suave-rider yeah a lot of American RUclipsrs are doing videos about this subject now, I personally think any video on RUclips about the Queens death should be demonetized.Although there are a couple who have done it with respect and dignity like JT reacts (who is a big fan of "Lizzy") and Solgal, which is nice to see.
I am so pleased you heard this; it was a lovely speech, in every way. I enjoyed your reaction to it; for someone who had not, up to this point, ever heard or even seen King Charles, then your analysis was thoughtful and perceptive and...well, pretty much 'spot on' 💜
When Queen Victoria was on the throne her son and heir was very unpopular yet when he succeeded her and became Edward VII he was a great and much loved king. The weird thing about Charles becoming king at 73 is that he is only 3 years younger than when Louis XIV of France died who was the longest reigning monarch in history, beating Elizabeth II by 2 years. Mind you he became king when he was just 5 years old whereas she was 27.
I can honestly say that king Charles lll speach was very well received, I think he will make a great king. the British people for the most part are whole heartily behind him. RIP our wonderful Queen ❤
It must also be remembered that many of the Royal Family have also seen active service in the military (Army, Navy and Airforce).
Prince Philip was in the Navy in WW2 along with his Uncle Lord Mountbatten (who was latter assassinated by the IRA - hence the Queen’s reply to the IRA’s McGuinness, in your earlier video, “well I’m still alive”, as Mountbatten was her Uncle).
The Queen herself served as a ambulance driver and mechanic at the end of WW2.
Charles was a Captain in the Navy in charge of a ship during the Cold War, he also served in the Airforce.
Andrew was a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War including acting as a decoy for incoming Exocet missiles from Argentina forces.
William served as a helicopter pilot for the RAF’s Search and Rescue service before going on to pilot a helicopter for East Anglia Air Ambulance service.
Harry served in the Army including two tours of active service in Afghanistan during the hight of the conflict. He then was the driving force behind the Invictus Games.
So the medals they wear aren’t just for show :)
You might find this short video of Prince Harry interesting :)

And Edward had a brief stint in The Royal Marines before deciding to be a media luvvie.... I'll never forgive him for "The Royal Knockout"!
I have friends in the USA and they have all at one point or other thought the next Monarch would be someone other than Charles III despite being told he was the heir several times. Another has spent the week telling people the new king is NOT William
@@doommonger7784 The point with monarchy is you don't get to chose, you get who you are given....
@@doommonger7784 God forbid they should choose Harry and spouse. WOW!!!!
@@AmethystDew the reason we had a Queen in the first place was due to an American divorced woman marrying into the Royal family and making her husband leave itall. Thankfully the second time it happened Harry was only a Prince and not the king of England.
@@kirstygunn9149 I'm from the U.K. and Wallis Simpson was not the reason Elizabeth was on the throne. If events had played out as King Edward VIII and Wallis simpson wanted, and they became King and Queen, their main problem would have been that they had no children. King Edward VIII's closest relative was his brother Albert and his children would have been heirs to the Crown. As it was Albert's eldest child who was a girl, was always going to have inherited the title of Queen - Elizabeth. So she would still have been monarch, but would have come to the throne later on EdwardVIII's death in 1972.
The crown always finds the head! 👑
Beautiful speech. His humour is as dry as his mother’s. As a British person I would say King Charles definitely has a very soft heart.
Tyler, you deserve huge praise for this. Normally I think you pause way too much, but every point you made here was insightful and respectful. I especially like that you picked up on the word 'love' - how many world leaders use that word?! The King is a kind, sensitive and misunderstood man. I believe he'll follow dutifully in his mother's footsteps. Thanks from an emotional Brit :-)
Thanks slashdisco, I really appreciate that. Also I will make a mental note to slightly reduce pausing, but will most likely fail miserably ha.
@@TylerRumple Please do not reduce pausing. Thank you.
I love this guy! Your reactions are honest and entertaining. ❤️🇨🇦
Surely, even as an American, you’ve heard of Charles’ first wife and mother of William and Harry, Princess Diana. He was obliged to marry Diana, as future king, the whole time being in love with Camilla. Diana once stated in an interview that there were 3 people in their marriage, referring to Camilla. Camilla was not an acceptable wife for a future king, due to her dating history and the fact that she was not a virgin. Charles and Diana eventually divorced. Diana’s life was cut short in a tragic car crash, as she was being pursued by the paparazzi. Years later the queen finally allowed Charles and Camilla to marry.
Charles had to push for that really hard! Camilla had always been the true love of his life and he wasn't going to let the establishment keep them apart any longer!
@@SteveParkes-Sparko 'Non negotiable' was the phrase, I believe.
@@AmethystDew Yes - that's right!
Queen Elizabeth was working up to the day of her death. King Charles has been preparing for this his whole life. I think it was a prepared speech.
definitely been written for a while
He probably wrote this some time ago, after he's had plenty of time to do so, and then read it out using a teleprompter. No need to recite the speech from memory or make it up on the fly.
He wrote it on a knapkin... Lol
@@AlexEwan1 he’s not reading from a teleprompter, his eyes aren’t moving left to right
@@AlexEwan1 It’s not that hard to learn a speech. I think Prince Charles did amateur dramatics at Cambridge, and he has fifty-odd years experience of giving speeches. I’m sure he can learn his lines.
Tyler Rumple - I always thought this anecdote was hilarious. She was out for a country walk in Scotland with her bodyguard when they began talking to an American couple. They knew the Queen came to Scotland in the summer and asked if they ever met her. She said she hadn't but he had, LOL. They asked what she was like and he said she could be a curmudgeon. They asked the Queen if she would take their photo with him because he KNEW the Queen. She did and when they left she chuckled, they will get a surprise when they realize who I am.
Really good speech, long live the King!
I remember the Queen a few years ago when she was at Ascot racecourse to present the trophy to the winner of the big horse race. Her horse ended up winning the race lol
Princess Elisabeth was 25 years old when she became Queen in 1952. He was married to the late Diana Princess of Wales between 1981-1996 when they divorced, Diana died in a car crash in August 1997 in Paris.
Charles is actually quite an emotional person. I've been impressed by the way he's stepped up to the plate and am hopeful for the continuation of the Monarchy. Republicanism has risen a bit in the UK over the last few years (Andrew didn't help). I'm prepared to go with the flow should we ever vote the Monarchy out but on the other hand, I'd be rather sad.
This has been quite startling for us in the UK. England was formed in 927 by King Athelstan, and our monarchy is descended from his brother, Edmund I; they are also descended from the first King of the Picts and Scots, Kenneth MacAlpin, in 843. ( And - rather by accident - from the ancient Princes of Wales and Irish Kings.) So the long line goes on, and our instinct is to rally round.
His Coronation won't be for months. It takes a lot of organising! He has 'Acceded' to the throne, and yesterday this was confirmed by an Accession Council. For the first time - by his order - the Accession Council was televised.
You may find this Council both boring and baffling, but I was riveted. There is a UK institution you may not have come across yet: the Privy Council. Senior politicians - and some others, notably including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York - are appointed to this, and they are appointed for life, and can call themselves 'Right Honourable'. This body numbers in the hundreds, but it has a very low quorum, and carries out certain formal functions. The monarch is usually present.
But in the Accession Council they nearly all turn up, so, for example, in addition to the present Prime Minister, there were six former Prime Ministers!
Penny Mordaunt - a Conservative politician - didn't get to be Prime Minister, so two days ago she got the minor Cabinet post of 'Lord President of the Council'. That meant she had to chair the whole thing, which she did quite well. Also in attendance was the Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk; his family have held the job since 1320...
All true British ceremonial is very slightly bonkers. The King wasn't there to start with, and the Council agreed to proclaim him King. They then invited him in, and he approved the Proclamation, and the gun salutes which were made yesterday; he also had to swear to uphold the Church of Scotland, and agree that the official seals of Government - all made in his mother's name - would temporarily be valid.
If you don't manage to see the Accession Council, do try to see the Principal Proclamation, which is quite short. The Council and the Principal Proclamation are held in an older Palace than Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace. The State Trumpeters and the Heralds ( the Kings of Arms and Pursuivants) are all present, and Garter King of Arms reads the magnificent wording of the Proclamation.
King Charles hasn't always behaved well, but about one thing he has been solid for decades- climate change and our damage to the environment- often having been ridiculed for it in the past. His father first spoke about the danger in 1982, and seems to been the first important person to speak about 'global warming'.
Meanwhile, we are all trying to get our heads round the change. At the end of our church service this morning we sang the National Anthem. Boy, did we have to concentrate! You see, the wording's changed. It's no longer 'God save our gracious Queen', but 'God save our gracious King', and we keep having to change 'her' to 'his'.
He is showing great composure, but for those of us familiar with Charles, you can see the pain in his eyes and the fact he’s bottling up a lot.
The Duchy of Cornwall is not just a title. It’s one of the biggest land ownerships in England and generates approx £20million per year in revenue, which pays for several of the royals. As custodian of the Duchy, Charles changed it to be hugely organic, environmentally friendly and there is also a range of products, a purpose built town etc - it’s basically like a massive business.
It’s interesting. Just for the Americans, he had a famous ‘mom’ called the Queen. She lived in a county called Ingerlanaland and wore a nice hat. A hat is something you put on your head. 😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your spelling teachers failed you. It’s not "Ingerlanaland".🤣
@@anthonyferris8912. You’ve got to love the American Education system. 🤣🤣🤣
He's American, so the most his leader can do is 8 years, so forgive him when he just doesn't get " a life of service" it's not something he or most of his young nation will ever get, GOD SAVE THE KING!
Paul Wright, you need to go back to school.
You will probably have heard of him before as Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, which was his official title prior to his mother's death. He's been prepared for this day for years, but that doesn't stop the day itself of coming as a shock. To put the Queen's length of reign in perspective, the first American President she met after being crowned was Eisenhower. And this speech is one he will have written himself, but it'll have been on teleprompter. Camilla is Charles's second wife. William and Harry are his children by his first marriage. The biggest change for Charles will be that he has always been outspoken on environmental issues, and as King he will officially be "above politics" and not be allowed to make controversial statements.
She goes back further than Eisenhower. Harry Trueman was U.S. President when she became queen.
Charles has grown up his entire life in the media. You will find hours and hours of his ups and downs from his birth to the present day everywhere on YT and elsewhere throughout modern day media.
The King is an accomplished speech giver and aided by a teleprompter. What he is saying is he will be akin to his late mother in his reign, but also care for all faiths.
Yes William inherits all his father's previous roles as he is now heir to the throne. I am delighted to have William and Catherine as our new Prince and Princess of Wales :)
I love this channel and I'm so happy i found it.
Thank you for reacting to this important history for the UK, on what is an important day in history for the USA. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇬🇧
He's now the head of the Church of England so the religious ending is not unexpected...
He's also the titular head of the UK government and the Commonwealth of Nations - all 54 of them.
Que sera sera. Australia has responded by saying they will NOT become a Republic but stand with the monarchy. KnowingCharles as a child and playboy and activist, we has fears of him asa king, this speech reassured us all. He was always way ahead of his time, laughed at for his playing music to flowers and his love of the environment, now mainstream. Harry has broken his heart.
absolutely.... 💔 (so pleased to hear that about Australia though 🙂)
Near the end you can see his emotions in his face. It’s so sad to see anyone lose their mother or a loved one whether you are a young person or in this case a 73 year old man, especially one that has to grieve in the public eye. It has been a strange feeling for the last few days, there’s been a kind of numbness and sadness, not over the top grief but still a disbelief that a constant like the Queen is no longer here. Next Monday (19th) is going to be a day of respect and sadness. 😢
Tyler, you have to bear in mind that anyone and everyone here in the U.K. under the age of 75 won't ever remember when we didn't have H.M. Queen Elizabeth II as our Monarch - I doubt very much if there was any 5 year-old around at that time who even understood who the Monarch was in 1952 when she ascended the throne, don't you?
She was the constant in all of our lives over the past 7 decades or so and it seems so strange to most of us here that we now have a king instead of a queen as our Monarch and Head of State.....considering that his mother was around for all of those decades it's going to take all of us Brits a wee bit of time to get used to having him as our new king.
As to your point about whether or not he has a sense of humour that he inherited from his 'Dear Mama' he most certainly does and is renowned for being just as witty and funny as his late mother. That's understandable because he's been the heir to the throne since he was aged 4 and was Prince of Wales from the age of 9 until just 2 days ago, isn't it? That's a pretty long 'apprenticeship' by anyone's standards therefore he's had over 70 years of practise and preparedness to become king, hasn't he?
The only thing that any of us can do - not just here in the U.K. but around the world - is to be patient and listen to him and what he said during this speech of his. He wants to continue the legacy of what his mother created during her long reign and we Brits are with him on that score. He's even more of a moderniser than Queen Elizabeth II was and has his own passions especially when it comes to environmental issues and his other personal interests.
As I just read today it's thought that he's going to change the U.K. Royal Family to be similar to the Scandinavian models that have been around in Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the longest time and personally speaking I'm fine with that. Far too many people have been saying in the past couple of days that our U.K. Monarchy should be abolished now that the Queen's died but they really haven't thought about what the alternative will be, have they?
The only alternative would be for us to turn into a Republic and have a newly elected President every four or five years which the vast majority of us Brits wouldn't tolerate - especially when we look at the way things are in your own country where your former President STILL hasn't accepted the fact that he lost his own reelection almost 2 years ago, has he? Unlike the U.S.A. we're not afraid of change and modernisation here in the U.K. and we look forward with optimism to the future rather than trying to dwell on the past. Our history remains where it belongs, i.e. in reference books, so that we don't make the same mistakes as we did before whereas your history seems as though your country's trying to use it as a template for the future and is doomed to failure especially when you try to impose late 18th and early 19th Century antiquated principles and morals in the modern world, isn't it?
R.I.P. H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and God Save King Charles III. ✌😁✌🇬🇧
Charles also studied drama at uni so he’s good in the spotlight. He knows how to deliver lines with the correct impact. His mother delivered the first televised Christmas massage. Charles grew up with tv and cameras (but it did annoy him at times).
its so weird to think that most of us alive now will live to see a queen and 2 Kings at least by the time we pass on.
Charles is 73, his son William (next in line) is in his 40s now too, then it will pass to his oldest son after that, etc etc :)
My mother was born in 1935 has lived through 5 monarchs, starting with the last few months of George V's reign.
I honestly thought that though the Queen was getting visibly more frail, she would have a while left. I'm just so pleased that she got passed her jubilee
He abdicated before his coronation but he was still king after his father died until that time
Check out the sketch the Queen did with Paddington bear for her jubilee last year as it shows she had an amazing sense of humour and timing.
don't forget reacting to 'prince charles presents the weather' and that queen paddington sketch, lol
We await his future with great hope and trust that he will be everything his mother and his nation hope he will be.
The King hasn't received his coronation yet. It'll probably happen in the next 12 months, I should kmagine. It'll be a huge event since our last coronation was in 1953.
I'm sure this speech was prepared years ago for this moment. It was certainly something they knew would be needed when the time came.
Incorrect. Written as he travelled back from Balmoral to London. He writes all his own speeches.
I once met King Charles many years ago I didn't know what to expect but he broke out a joke and was great to be around. I believe he is going to be great for aslong as he's king.
He was very prepared. They have been preparing him for 73 years. Not only was the Queen the longest serving British Monarch Charles was the longest serving Heir Apparent. He has served as Prince Of Wales since 1969 where he was invested at Caernarfon Castle. I remember that ceremony so well being a Welsh woman. I was 11 at the time.
I like him very much. He is not liked by many but we can’t all like everyone. I think he will make an amazing King and I hope he has a fairly long reign although I shouldn’t think he will reach his Silver Jubilee although given the longevity of his mother, father and grandmother you never know. His grandmother Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was 101 years old when she passed. His father was a month off his 100th birthday and as we know his mother was 96 so you never know.
God Save the King ❤️
British Stiff Upper Lip! He's a Great Man & one our first Green Activists even working with David Attenborough etc..... great channel mate been with you since 600 sub's - Love from England
You have the eloquence to comment on the fly. I’m looking forward to your channel doing well. 5k soon.
I’m sure Charles will do the queen and the nation proud as he becomes king. His popularity has grown a lot in his mature years. I was in awe of the way he delivered that speech to millions of people live after just loosing his mum, Amazing courage. Really reassured me that we had the right man to represent the British people to the world.
Thanks Tyler, I appreciate your honesty and candide reactions.
I have really enjoyed listening to your views as a young American learning and understanding about our Royal family. 👍👑🙂
He lost both his parents within 2 years & I sympathize with him greatly, even if he's not a popular member of the monarchy from the nation's point of view. He is under a great deal of pressure. God Bless the King!🇬🇧❤️
At 68 years old l have never known any other monarch in my life, its a new era, l never believed and couldn't envisage a time without her.
He became very unpopular during his marriage breakdown to princess Diana but his standing with the public has steadily improved since. Saying that, he is unlikely to ever have the respect admiration or popularity his mother had.
Let's be clear, he became unpopular because at the time the truth of Diana's mental problems were not known, her manipulation of the media was not understood, nor was the general public aware of the extent of her serial adultery.
Since her death these truths have come out, Lady Colin Campbell's book is particularly interesting coming from an insider....
I think you are wrong, he will be a good King for his people.
Reaching his mothers level, no, but for that he simply do not have enough time, but to be beloved, absolutely.
As long as he doesn’t meddle in his other interest or politics and keep unbiased he will do ok.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
Thank you for being so respectful.
RIP HM Queen Elizabeth II ,Thank you very much ma'am for everything.
God save the King,
Long may he reign!
Charles has done a lot of good work for charity and has always been passionate about the environment and conservation, he is a good man and I am happy to have him as my King.
As a Brit I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised not just by King Charles III but also by the way the public has responded to him. I remember the 90s and the dramas and scandals, but just as the Queen overcame that to become far more loved than I would have expected he seems to have done the same.
One of the biggest surprises for everyone is that he and Camilla have met the public crowds several times over the last few days. No one expected them to do that, they didn't have to, but after viewing the flowers and notes left by the public they turned to walk along the crowd and shake hands and greet people.
King Charles allegedly wants a more "slimmed down" Monarchy, with fewer members in the public eye, but I also think he wants those fewer members to be more public. He's also a dedicated environmentalist who's campaigned for decades on matters of sustainability, natural habitats and wildlife, so I would imagine he's going to utilize his new position to push that forward even more.
I think we're in very good hands with King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine. This will be the core of the British Royal family going forward and I imagine they're going to do a wonderful job, as they have been.
To say your take is limited is an understatement
Flights of Angels quote is William Shakespeare. Who King Charles loves to read.
The new King Charles is a lovely man and is very compassionate and aware of his position and how that can help those less able to help themselves. He set up The Princes Trust when he was Prince of Wales and it has helped so many young people in the U.K. to get established or to start their own businesses. The drama with Meghan Markle is ongoing and one of the most awful things she threw at the people of the U.K. and also at the Royal Family is that they were racist. This slur seems to have been aimed at Charles which is quite unforgivable, as his care for the race relations in the U.K. is exemplary. It was suggested at one point that Charles, who is now the head of the Church of England and holds the title Defender of the Faith, was going to change the wording to Defender of Faiths. This, the better to reflect the changing face of the different faiths in modern day U.K.
He was married to Princess Diana and she is the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry. Charles married Camilla in 2005.
One last badass thing about the Queen - On Tuesday 6th September she met her Liz Truss, to swear her in as the U.K.'s new Prime Minister. This would be a very important, professional, constitutional and political meeting. She died on Thursday 8th. She literally did her duty to her death as she pledged to do on her 21st birthday. Can anybody top that? This why she is so beloved. 💔👑🕯
God Bless The Queen and God Save The King.
It’s so nice to see you exploring our monarchy, and some of our culture. Your fresh take on what you see is so interesting. Charles became King the moment Her Majesty, the Queen died. The way it is characterised is “The Queen is dead, long live the King” in this case. Everything will change now, coins and bank notes will bear the King’s head instead of the Queen’s. Postage stamps too, etc etc. William Is now first in line to the throne, followed by his young sons George and Louis. After the huge event of the Queen’s funeral on 20th September, there will be the King ceremonial Coronation when he will be crowned in public view.
Probably will not become a decision but William's daughter is next in line after George. They updated the succession rules for equality.
It's George, Charlotte then Louis...
@@stephwaite2700 That's right. They changed the rules so that male heirs do not automatically override female ones.
It will be the first time since decimalisation of our coinage that there will be more than one monarch's head on coins in circulation. Before decimalisation coins were legal tender bearing the heads of our monarchs back to Queen Victoria, though people like myself used to collect them if we thought them unusual, and 'worn' coins were also withdrawn for re-minting.
You make a good point of Her Majesty being one of the last global figures. It is this acknowledgement of the end of an era, that adds to the mourning of the nation and of the Commonwealth of nations Queen Elisabeth II was head of State.
I believe King Charles III wrote this speech the evening of her death.
I look forward to the coming months when we all learn a little more of how the Monarchy, as exists in UK, plays a part in the demokrati, as we lead up to the coronation of King Charles III.
Thankyou for your video
Majority of England the Commonwealth adore King Charles.
There are always the doom and gloom persons.
He has always been a firm believer in Climate change initiatives,
Education and Health..
God Save The King..
I saw on another video 84% of Americans weren’t born when the Queen took the throne and she met 14 US Presidents. Yes he wrote the speech.
I find Charles’ voice calming.
Queen Elizabeth was monarch for 30% of the time the US has been an independent nation
He was reading it from auto queue but he wrote it himself on the day. Strong speech very personal and regal.
Thank you for your respect in reviewing the speech. Some have not been quite so graceful.
It was a lovely heartfelt speech Im sure he will be a good King
King Charles III was only 4 and a half years old when his late mother was crowned Queen.
Your videos on Norway brought me here. Good job! And also: Long live King Charles! Greetings from Norway.
King Charles III takes the throne at the ripe old age of 73, the next in line Prince William (Henry's - aka Harry's brother) is 40. So we aren't looking for a record breaking reign like queen Elizabeth II managed.
Charles grew up on TV everybody knew everything he said, did, got wrong and experimented with... At 73 he's an older statesman now, maybe Henry (aka Harry) will one day mature enough to Don the responsibility and duty of service to a nation.
I've made my jokes like everyone else. But this man has my respect. He has spent his entire life preparing for this, and more importantly not just hanging around waiting, he was active himself. I didn't always agree with his thinking, but he has stood the test of time and mellowed over the years. Let's hope he was able to learn Elizabeth's tact, diplomacy and soft influence application.
King Charles has his son Prince William as heir who is so well liked also his wife Catherine to back him up
At 5th in line to the throne, Harry is unlikely to have to don said responsibility.
@@frankhooper7871 Baring a severe accident taking Williams entire family, Henry (aka Harry) will never be king. William and Catherine have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. All of them have a higher claim to the throne, but each of them also have their offspring ahead of Henry (aka Harry).
Henry (aka Harry) may be 5th in line now but any offspring from any of Williams children, grandchildren etc have a higher claim to the crown than Henry (aka Harry). Charles has just ascended the throne at 73, William is 40 so there's decades before it reaches his kids, by then they'll be a brood of kids all with a higher claim to the throne.
Any way Henry (aka Harry) should have abdicated any claim to the throne when he abdicated all duty, responsibility and work to go live in Canada, then America. He can do what he wants, but he can't remain in the royal family tree afterwards... No ones saying he can't be a Mountbatten-Windsor (which is their family name) but he abandoned his royal titles, duties and responsibilities.
@@frankhooper7871 I agree Harry doesn’t have it in him to understand what his responsibilities are and never will have
His Majesty is a man way ahead of his time.He was making speeches in the 1970's about the dangers of plastic pollution and the environment.Most people thought he was a crank,
That was an enjoyable and interesting reaction.
