He stated that he and his family would be "comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held" during the forthcoming period of grief. The King will deliver a speech to the country on Friday, according to Buckingham Palace, when he and his wife Camilla, who is now Queen Consort, return to London.
The queen, whose husband passed away last year, has been forced to cancel almost all of her public appearances since the end of last year due to what Buckingham Palace described as "episodic mobility issues."
After the Queen's doctors expressed concern about her health earlier in the day, senior royals had assembled in Balmoral. Following the Queen's placement under medical supervision, all of her children made their way to Balmoral, which is close to Aberdeen.
At Buckingham Palace, Prince William, her great-grandson and current successor to the throne, as well as Prince Harry, gathered there.
The Queen, who on Tuesday named Liz Truss as prime minister, was described as the "rock" upon which modern Britain was created and as having "given them the stability and strength that they required."
She stated of the new King:
“„We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much, to so many, for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words 'God save the King'.
The Church of England's spiritual head, Justin Welby, who is also the monarch's supreme governor, expressed his "deep regret." He remarked that "the King and the Royal Family are in my prayers."
