According to the latest updates, King Charles has been publicly proclaimed as the King and has officially succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. The proclamation was made at the St. James’s Palace, Hyde park in London.
In his first public speech as the King, Charles mentioned his love for the country and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on a personal level.
