UPDATE
10:10 AM PT -- King Charles just delivered his speech to the United Kingdom and the world, and he had a message for his family ... including name-dropping Harry and Meghan, to whom he wished the best -- even though they're not directly involved with Royal duties anymore.
UPDATE
Charles' remarks were poignant, but somewhat brief -- he noted how sad he is, and also acknowledged how sad the United Kingdom is as well ... highlighting what a beloved figure his mother was, and how well she served the nation throughout her long and storied reign.
UPDATE
He also touched on the fact that the world has changed a lot since she ascended the throne -- and seemed to allude to criticism about the institution of the monarchy ... but he defended it, saying the traditions and values that it upholds continue to carry weight -- even today.
UPDATE
Finally, he discussed the new line of succession -- pointing out that he's obviously the King, Camilla is Queen Consort, and that Prince William and Kate Middleton are now the Prince and Princess of Wales. In the same breath, he also made sure to include PH and MM.
UPDATE
He didn't assign them any titles -- as they've stepped back from their Royal duties -- but he did extend his love to them ... saying he only hopes for their continued success in America.
The newly crowned King Charles III has surfaced for the first time since Queen Elizabeth's death and hours before addressing the nation.
King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla and Prince Harry were among several members of the Royal Family seen leaving Queen Elizabeth's estate in Aberdeen, Scotland. All seemed to be in good spirits, despite what happened less than 24 hours before.

Charles arrived to Buckingham Palace just moments ago to a massive crowd, where he shook hands and greeted people with a smile.
In his first public speech as King, Charles will address the people today during a pre-taped message he'll deliver from Buckingham Palace.
As we reported, Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday just hours after it was announced doctor's were concerned for her health. Members of the Royal Family came to be by her side in her final moments.
In an almost poetic tribute, a rainbow appeared in the sky over Buckingham Palace in the hours leading up to Queen Elizabeth's death.
At 96 years old, she ruled for 70 years, the second longest time in power in history behind King Louis XIV.
