King Charles III has been formally proclaimed the King of Britain in the first televised Accession Council today (Saturday) at St James’s Palace in London.

The new King signed the proclamation with Prince William, Prime Minister Liz Truss, and Archbishop Justin Welby watching on.

Almost 700 members of the current Accession Council, the oldest functioning part of Britain’s government, were called to convene Saturday at St James’s Palace in London, the official residence of the U.K.’s kings and queens for centuries.

The council is comprised of Privy Counsellors, a select group of senior politicians, including new Prime Minister Liz Truss, religious figures from the Church of England, the Lord Mayor of London and a bevy of other top civil servants from across British society and the 14 other “realms,” or nations, for which the monarch serves as the official head of state.

Charles is king and head of state of the United Kingdom and 14 other realms, including Australia, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea
