Janji Teladai Ratu Saat Diproclaimasikan Jadi Raja Inggris, Charles: Saya Sangat Menyadari Heritage Besar Dan Tujuan Ini

JAKARTA - King Charles III vowed on Saturday to emulate his late mother when he was officially proclaimed as the new ruler of the British Empire.

The proclamation was carried out in a historic ceremony featuring centuries-old traditions and a trumpet procession.

The appointment of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 on Thursday (8/9), was attended by several days of mourning and state funerals which will be held in the next week.

Charles III, 73, immediately continued his mother's role on Thursday, but the Accession Council, which consists of hundreds of politicians, bishops and senior civil servants in traditional heraldik costumes, will proclaim its succession on Saturday.

The Council, which has existed centuries ago and is tasked with providing input to the kingdom, consisting of advisors, including its son and heir to the throne, William, his wife Camilla and new Prime Minister Liz Truss, who signed the proclamation.

Six former prime ministers, senior bishops, and a group of politicians shouted "God Save The King" when Charles III's announcement as king was approved.

"I am well aware of this great legacy and task, and the great responsibility of sovereignty is now handed over to me," said Charles III.

"In fulfilling this responsibility, I will strive to follow an inspiring example in upholding constitutional rule and achieving peace, harmony and prosperity of the people in this archipelago and in the territory of the United Kingdom around the world," he said.

Then, on top of a balcony overlooking the Friary Court court at the St James Palace, David White, as the Garter King of Forces, read out the proclamation accompanied by a trumpet.

"When God Almighty gave His forgiveness, our late sovereign Queen Elizabeth Second, who was blessed and remembered noblely, with the crown of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland only entitled to be handed over to Prince Charles Philip Arthur George," White said, proclaimed.

The soldiers in old traditional red uniforms chanted "hip, hip,hurrah" when White asked for three cheers for the king.

Hundreds of residents were allowed into the field to witness the ceremony, including a small child sitting on the shoulders of their parents, a woman holding flowers and an elderly man sitting in his wheelchair.

Charles III is the 41st king of the Normandy King William the Colon who seized the British throne on 1066.

The ceremony on Saturday continued its proclamation tradition hundreds of years ago to announce the new king and queen and became the first proclamation to be broadcast on television.

For most British citizens, watching the event became their first experience, because Elizabeth II was the only royal ruler they had ever known.

Charles was only 3 years old when his mother was named Queen in 1952.
