At 73, Charles became the oldest British monarch to ascend the throne.

Last night, for the first time in 70 years, the British national anthem was played at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London with changed lyrics. “God Save the King”. This version, referring to a male monarch, replaces “God Save the Queen”, an anthem that has been played since Elizabeth’s accession to the throne in 1952.

Earlier, in his first appeal to the nationCharles III thanked the people for participating in the mourning for his mother, while promising to follow her example.
