LIVE updates as King Charles visits Wales and Vigil of the Princes to take place

King Charles is to visit Wales for the first time since ascending the throne today, before returning to London to hold a vigil at the Queen’s coffin with his brothers and sister. Charles and the Queen Consort have travelled to Cardiff for the next leg of a home nations tour following the Queen’s death, after trips to Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The King and Camilla will attend a service of prayer and reflection at Llandaff Cathedral before receiving condolences at the Welsh parliament, the Senedd. He will later hold a private audience with Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford and the presiding officer at Cardiff Castle and then attend a reception hosted by the Welsh Government.

Charles will then make his way back to Buckingham Palace in the evening to host faith leaders in the Bow Room. Meanwhile thousands will continue to queue to see the Queen lying in state at Westminster Hall, and some will witness the King, the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex as they hold a 15-minute vigil around the coffin at 7.30pm.
