Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, the queen’s eldest son, who would inherit the sovereign title and role as head of the Commonwealth, and will henceforth be referred to as His Majesty His King, made a statement paying respect to his mother.
The statement posted on the Buckingham Palace official Instagram page reads;
A statement from His Majesty His King:
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.
