King Charles III: A Year on the Throne

On 8th September 2022 the course of history took a turn. As the sun set on Queen Elizabeth II’s historic reign, the world looked on as a nation and a family embarked on a new era, the centre of which is one man. He was Prince Charles for all of his 73 years until, on that rainy autumn day, he became King.

After seven decades, this chapter was all he had been waiting for, but was it all that he expected? The year that followed was his chance to carve out his identity and his place in history.

It was a year of mourning, political turbulence, family feuds, a war in Europe. But it was also a year of celebration, friendship, cooperation and a look towards how the role of the monarchy would evolve in the 21st century.

Here, we take a look back on King Charles III’s defining year; what it meant for him, what it meant for Britain, what it meant for the world. And what it tells us about the future of his reign and the kind of King he is destined to be.
