The first image of Carlos III, tearful, devastated and broken in pain at the gates of Balmoral

Mid-morning on this Friday of mourning in the UK, charles of england has left Balmoral Castle, where he had moved the day before to be with his mother, Isabel IIin the last hours of the monarch’s life.

Through the window of his car, the new King showed an image of immense sorrow, desolation and loss. Wearing a dark gray suit, white shirt and black tie as a sign of mourning, Carlos stared into space. Despite being accompanied by Camilla Parker Bowles and through two members of his team, the new monarch transmitted pain, loneliness and absence.

This September 9 Carlos was moving from Balmoral, in the Scottish Highlands, to Aberdeen airport, where he took a plane to fly to London. He is scheduled to hold a meeting with the premier Liz Truss. In addition, Carlos prepares what will be his first speech as king and that he will pronounce it before the nation this very day. They will be a few words of tribute to her mother for her 70 years of service to the country.
