Britain's King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort, meets with choristers following the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in London, Britain, March 13.LONDON - King Charles drew on his mother's inspiration on Monday as he celebrated his first Commonwealth Day as symbolic head of the grouping with a service at London's Westminster Abbey, joined by other senior members of the British royal family.
"I draw great strength from her example, together with all that I have learnt from the extraordinary people I have met, throughout the Commonwealth, over so many years," he told the congregation. "The Commonwealth has been a constant in my own life, and yet its diversity continues to amaze and inspire me."
He was greeted with a traditional Maori welcome outside the Abbey and also by a noisy protest from a small number of republicans who have vowed to make their views known at engagements ahead of his coronation in May.
