King Charles III may distribute patronages among royal family (Hindustan Times)

Nearly six million people tried to follow a British Royal Air Force transport aircraft taking Queen Elizabeth II's coffin from Edinburgh in Scotland to London, making it the most tracked flight in history, website Flightradar24 said on Wednesday. Flights face restrictions as the queen's coffin is carried from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where the late monarch will lie in state until her funeral on Monday in Windsor, west of London. While the Taliban leadership has rejected Islamabad's contention that JeM chief Masood Azhar Alvi has relocated to Afghanistan from Bahawalpur in Punjab after ultra-conservative Sunni-Pashtun militia occupied Kabul in 2021, intelligence sources indicate Azhar is located in east Afghanistan. Despite the good signs, the WHO cautioned against taking a back seat. They can't upgrade them for a better royal," she added without naming any particular member. Air traffic above London is restricted Wednesday for the procession of Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, Heathrow Airport said. A number of flights "will be disrupted to ensure silence" as the procession takes place, London's biggest air hub said in a statement. Research group Giving Evidence concluded in a 2020 study that there was "no evidence" that royal links helped the income of charities. The royal family's historic patronages date back to the 18th century, when King George II decided to lend his support to the Society of Antiquaries charity -- of which the late queen remained a fellow.

King Charles III Now Reigns — But Who Were King Charles I and ... (Today.com)

The name "Charles" for a monarch has a colorful royal history, fraught with beheadings, civil wars, years spent in exile and illegitimate children.

Following Cromwell's death, Charles II became King of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1660, restoring the monarchy. “Princess Elizabeth made clear, it was simply because she liked the name." Charles II may be remembered as a playboy, but his story has its darker sides. [Will the British public warm to King Charles III?](https://www.today.com/video/how-will-king-charles-fare-as-britain-s-oldest-monarch-148134981884) [recently addressed members of Parliament](https://www.today.com/news/news/king-charles-iiis-address-parliament-significant-rcna47255?search=westminster%20hall) following the death of Queen Elizabeth, vowing to uphold his country's “vital parliamentary traditions." After Charles I was beheaded, the monarchy was abolished altogether, and Charles II was forced to spend more than a decade in exile, mostly in the modern-day Netherlands. [Diana, Princess of Wales,](https://www.today.com/news/news/tony-blair-says-queen-responded-perfectly-princess-dianas-death-rcna47449) and Sarah, Duchess of York, “are descendants of Charles II through his various illegitimate children," Harris said.

Made in France: the only recording of God Save the King to be had (The Guardian)

If you want to play a recording of the UK's revamped national anthem then you will probably have to rely on an unlikely source: a French opera singer.

Kientz, who has travelled across the UK, said he did not expect his recording of God Save the King to provide much of an income: “I really love this anthem because it’s very vocal, you have many things to do. Kientz’s recording of God Save the King had been largely ignored, but it has recently been played hundreds of thousands of times as people look for a version with the correct words. The year after they asked me to record God Save the Queen – and God Save the King.”

The tragedy of King Charles III (POLITICO.eu)

A life of public service is forcing the newly anointed monarch to end of a lifetime of private activism. That may be easier said than done.

That’s in part because the monarch is “regarded as a British institution, and it isn’t regarded as a Scottish institution anymore,” he added. For instance, his near-annual trips to Ireland seem calculated to build on the queen’s watershed visit in 2011, which marked a high point in the long and violent history of British-Irish relations. “Nobody knows what utter hell it is to be Prince of Wales,” he reportedly said in 2004. In addition to the crown, Charles has inherited his mother’s position as head of the Commonwealth, but “There has been a misinterpretation of what he does — he travels the world and he brings to light issues that are raised with him. One [Sunday paper](https://twitter.com/BBCHelena/status/1568684998609481728) set out what is at stake, asking on the front page whether he could be “the last king of Scotland.” Christine, a retiree from the focus group in Oldham, said: “I think he should make his feelings clear — after all he is the king. “But he has acquired a lot of wisdom in his 70 years. He has stood in support of fox hunting and in opposition to “ugly” modern architecture, but he has also championed organic farming and advocated for action on climate change well before the subject was embraced by the mainstream. “My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities,” he said, a little more than 24 hours after his mother died at Balmoral Castle, bringing to an end the reign of the only monarch most Britons can remember. While he can rightly consider himself vindicated now that the zeitgeist has caught up with him, Charles still hasn’t been able to escape the occasional bout of ridicule. The entire speech was designed to reassure a country in mourning for Queen Elizabeth II that her successor would not depart from the style of steady, even-handed leadership she had embodied.

King Charles III must bite his lip to emulate the Queen's success on ... (iNews)

Queen Elizabeth created an enormous space for her son to exert influence around the world, whether Charles is able to exercise restraint only time will tell.

Whether Charles is able to exercise restraint and bite his lip through the inevitable tedium of international affairs and diplomacy in order to exploit this enormous opportunity, only time will tell. By promoting British culture as well as its heritage, Charles can boost Britain’s image as well as his own standing, and steal a march on the Government. As a woman who enjoyed extraordinary – and perhaps unique – celebrity and respect around the world, Queen Elizabeth paved the way for women everywhere to assume roles of leadership and high status. The UK has provided a widespread contribution to sport, music, literature, art and science around the world, more so than its GDP figures or its minor influence on world security. “It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.” He went on to have a more direct impact on events in the Middle East, though. Our defence relationship with the US is very important to us. Foreign policy is a very unemotional business; it’s about getting on with things and being pragmatic, so how Charles conducts himself now is the important thing.” Given that the King has previously made clear his thoughts on many aspects of foreign affairs, critics will be on the lookout for indiscretions. Charles is said to have been unaware of Fawcett’s activities. The Queen had that uncanny ability of never appearing bored and always being attentive. For Charles III, his sternest test may come on the world stage.
