King Charles III appeared to be fighting tears today as Parliament sang 'God Save the King' after he addressed MPs and peers for the first time as King.

Addressing members of both houses of Parliament, he said that he could “feel the weight of history” on his shoulders, and thanked those present for their tributes to his “dear mother” the late Queen Elizabeth II .

His Majesty also appeared rather emotional as the Lord Speaker and the Commons Speaker expressed their condolences on the death of his mother as they said: “Deep as our grief is, we know yours is deeper.” For all of the latest updates, sign up for OK!'s Royal newsletter.
