the day after his mother's death, the new king, charles iii, returned to london from balmoral with camilla, the queen consort. before going into buckingham palace, he met the crowds gathered outside. cheering then a first walk through the gates as king and queen consort. from here, he made his first address to the nation as sovereign. and to my darling mama, as you begin your last greatjourney tojoin my dear late papa, 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.
