King Charles III delivered his first public address as the new British monarch, just a day after ascending to the throne following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
The King has given numerous public speeches during his time as the heir apparent, but the address on Friday was perhaps the most important of his life so far -- and he began with a tribute to his mother.Wearing a black suit and a black tie, Charles said Queen Elizabeth"made sacrifices for duty, dedication and devotion.""In her life of service, we saw that abiding love of tradition together with that fearless embrace of progress which makes us great as nations," the King said.
He ended on a personal note, with another message to the late Queen."To my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey, I want simply to say this: Thank you.""Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years."To get updates on the British Royal Family sent to your inbox, sign up for CNN's Royal News newsletter.
