King Charles III made a historic address to the nation last Friday, which ended with a very poignant message to his mother.
Towards the end of his speech, the new King turned attention back to his late mother and made a reference to his father Prince Philip.
"And to my darling Mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late Papa, I want simply to say this: thank you," he stated.
"Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years.
"May 'flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest'."
In the rest of his address, the King made William and Kate the Prince and Princess of Wales, much earlier than was expected.
His Majesty referred to the new roles and titles now given to members of the family, confirming Camilla would serve has his Queen Consort.
On William and Kate, he said: "As my Heir, William now assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me.
"He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades.
"Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty."
The new King also sent his best wishes to his youngest son, Prince Harry, and his wife Meghan Markle, as they "build their lives overseas".
