HM King Charles III has been formally announced in Wales as the new monarch.

The key public event was held in Wales on Sunday, 11 September following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth.

The Proclamation of the new sovereign took place at Cardiff Castle at noon when HM King Charles III was formally announced in Wales as the new monarch.

Prior to the Proclamation, a Proclamation Guard made up of 26 men of the 3^rd Battalion the Royal Welsh, supported by the Band of the Royal Welsh and accompanied by the regimental mascot, marched from City Hall to Cardiff Castle.

The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford calls upon Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary, Thomas Lloyds to read the proclamation.

At the castle, the Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary, Tom Lloyd, made the announcement in English and the Lord Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, Morfudd Meredith, proclaimed King Charles in Welsh.

The ceremony was in the presence of the First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, the Rt Hon Cllr Graham Hinchey, the Leader of the Council, Cllr Huw Thomas, and the Secretary of State for Wales, Sir Robert Buckland.

After the readings of the Proclamation, members of 104^th Regiment (Newport) of the Royal Artillery fired 21-gun salute before the singing of God Save the King and Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.

The ceremony comes after Cardiff has played a key role in Wales’ response to HM The Queen’s death.

Floral tributes in memory of The Queen can be placed on the lawn areas either side of City Hall’s main entrance in Cardiff between 9am and 5pm.
