3 takeaways from King Charles' 1st public speech (NPR)

King Charles III gave his first public speech after taking the throne following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

He focused on the important role two women had played already in his life, his mother and his wife, but also how the latter, Camilla, would continue to support him during this moment and the years to come. The new king insisted that a primary part of his mission as monarch would be to provide a form of consistency in matters both temporal and spiritual, in the way he said his mother had done, despite huge social, political and cultural changes across Britain over the last seven decades. "This important work will go on in the trusted hands of others," he said.

Its wrap front page shows Charles looking admiringly at his mother, with the headline “to my darling Mama, thank you”. Its headline is: “Tearful Charles’s tribute to his darling mama”. Picturing him seated at his desk, the headline is “Our new King’s pledge to the nation … The headline is “I pledge myself to you”.
