Historic ceremony televised for the first time
On Saturday, King Charles III was formally proclaimed the new monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
The Accession Council is a traditional meeting that is convened as soon as possible after a sovereign's death.
About 200 senior ministers, advisers and diplomats gathered at St James's Palace for the event.
It was the first time a British monarch's accession was televised.

The Queen will be transported along the Royal Mile, some of the oldest streets in the city, to St Giles' Cathedral today.

The date of the Queen's funeral announced
On Sunday, Buckingham Palace confirmed the Queen's funeral would take place at London's Westminster Abbey at 11am local time on September 19.
The Queen will be transported from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday, where she will lie in state at Westminster Hall from Wednesday until the morning of the funeral.
Australia gets a public holiday on the national day of mourning for the Queen
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told ABC News that September 22 would be a holiday to coincide with a memorial service for the Queen.
Mr Albanese said he had written to advise state and territory leaders of the holiday.
"It will be a one-off national public holiday to allow people to pay their respects for the passing of Queen Elizabeth," Mr Albanese said.
He also said the four sitting days that were lost when parliament was suspended following the Queen's death would be made up later.
"I think it was appropriate, and protocols require the automatic cancellation," he said.

Princes William and Harry, with Kate and Meghan, out in public together again
Prince William and Prince Harry, who were joined by their wives Catherine and Meghan, greeted wellwishers outside Windsor Castle shortly after King Charles III's proclamation.
It was the brothers' first public appearance together since the death of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The group had not been seen together in public since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex withdrew from public life.
The appearance came shortly after the Prince of Wales released a statement pledging his support to his father.
"My grandmother famously said that grief was the price we pay for love," he said in a statement.
"All of the sadness we will feel in the coming weeks will be testament to the love we felt for our extraordinary Queen.
"I will honour her memory by supporting my father, The King, in every way I can."

Who will get the Queen's corgis?
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah, the Duchess of York, will take care of two of the dogs at Windsor Estate, west of London, according to the BBC.
The pair, who live together despite being divorced, will take on Muick and Sandy, two young corgis they gave to the Queen as a gift last year.
"One of the intriguing things people are wondering about at the funeral is whether a corgi is going to be present," royal historian and author Robert Lacey said.
The Queen is also survived by a dorgi (dachshund-corgi mix) named Candy and a cocker spaniel named Lissy. It's not clear who will look after these two.
