King Charles III Makes His First Announcement

Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has died. Her son, Charles III is now king. Here is his statement:

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family. 

We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother.  I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.  

During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”

Many in the United Kingdom have only known a woman as the “Defender of the Faith” and now comes King Charles III, her son as King.

We, in Jacksonville mourn Her Majesty the Queen’s loss too.

See you tomorrow,
