In full, Charles’ statement read: “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.”
His Majesty and Queen Camilla will remain at Balmoral overnight, before travelling to London on Friday, September 9.
The King will make a televised address to the country as well as the countries where he is King upon his arrival at Buckingham Palace.
Prime Minister Liz Truss and Clarence House confirmed Charles will be styled as His Majesty, King Charles III and will undertake a tour of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It’s expected that he will be officially declared King following a traditional announcement at St James’ Palace before plans for his coronation are put into place.
