King Charles III -- who officially ascended the British throne on Sept. 10, just two days after his mother's passing -- also shared a statement to his social media the day the queen died. "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family," he wrote. "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother."
