King Charles III has held his first in-person audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace, APA's Britain bureau reports.
The historic meeting comes after the King was given a rapturous welcome as he greeted well-wishers gathered outside the Palace following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
It was the new King’s first walkabout and encounter with the public since his historic accession and crowds lined up behind a barrier clamouring to greet him, smiling and taking photos of him on their phones.
Charles earlier touched down at RAF Northolt with the Queen Consort, Camilla, shortly after 1.30pm after travelling from Balmoral where his mother died peacefully on Thursday afternoon.
A pre-recorded televised address from the King is expected to air around 6pm. At the same time a public service will be held at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral, and will be attended by Prime Minister Liz Truss.
