LONDON (AP) — With gun salutes and tolling bells, the United Kingdom on Friday marked the anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the ascension of King Charles III, who remembered his mother as a symbol of stability during her 70-year reign.
Charles and Queen Camilla observed the anniversary at the family estate in Scotland and attended a service of remembrance at a small church nearby, where the late queen worshipped.
Harry is due to attend the Invictus Games for injured soldiers in Germany this weekend, alongside his wife Meghan.
The king released a previously unpublished photograph of the queen that shows her at the height of her power at age 42.
Her death triggered questions about the future of the monarchy.
