Before touching down in Edinburgh, the royal couple visited Parliament at Westminster Hall in London to receive condolences from the House of Commons and the House of Lords.King Charles III is 'deeply grateful' after Queen Elizabeth II's death

King Charles III expressed his gratitude during a speech to lawmakers in Westminster Hall after the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.The king said symbols of his"darling late mother" were all around the Palace of Westminster, such as a fountain in New Palace Yard, sundial in Old Palace Yard and a"magnificent" stained glass window that commemorated the queen's Silver Jubilee.

Charles III told the House of Commons he is"deeply grateful for the Addresses of Condolence by the House of Lords and the House of Commons, which so touchingly encompass what our late sovereign, my beloved mother the queen, meant to us all. As Shakespeare says of the earlier Queen Elizabeth, she was 'a pattern to all princes living.'"

"As I stand before you today, I cannot help but feel the weight of history which surrounds us and which reminds us of the vital Parliamentary traditions to which members of both Houses dedicate yourselves, with such personal commitment for the betterment of us all," he continued. Speaking of the queen's journey back to London, Charles III said,"The great bell of Big Ben – one of the most powerful symbols of our nation throughout the world and housed within the Elizabeth Tower also named for my mother’s Diamond Jubilee – will mark the passage of the late queen’s progress from Buckingham Palace to this Parliament on Wednesday."
