King Charles III Commits To ‘Lifelong Service’ In First Address

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Britain’s new monarch, King Charles III, in an intensely personal speech full of undisguised emotion about his family at a time of mourning addressed the nation and commonwealth for the first time since his mother’s passing.

The speech included a headline announcement that Prince William and Kate would become Prince and Princess of Wales, a position he formerly held, handing on to the next generation.

But perhaps more movingly he paid tribute to two women at the centre of his life – his mother the Queen and his “darling wife” Camilla.

He spoke of his “profound sorrow” at the loss his mother, her “life well-lived” and her “sacrifices for duty”, sticking tenaciously to her sense of service through decades of huge social change.

The new King also praised the “steadfast devotion” of the new Queen, his wife Camilla, making clear the important and non-negotiable role she would play in his life.

There was also an expression of love for “Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas”.

Another clear message being sent was that Charles was here for the long haul, the throne would be a lifelong commitment for him, for all “the remaining time God grants me”.

But it was an important, tone-setting speech that was absent of any pomposity, promising to serve rather than to rule. It also touched on two of his passions, Shakespeare and religion.

Although nothing is accidental in the royal world and the speech from Buckingham Palace had its own deliberate symbolism.

He spoke in a room used by his mother for Christmas messages and in front of a posy of sweet peas and rosemary meant to represent remembrance.
