Prince William speech: full transcript of what he said at King Charles' coronation concert

Prince William made a touching tribute to his 'pa' King Charles III at the star-studded Windsor Castle coronation concert on Sunday (7 May). The Prince of Wales also gave an emotional nod to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

It took place just one day after the occasion which saw His Majesty and Queen Camilla crowned at Westminster Abbey in front of 19 million viewers in the UK. It brought the world together in celebration, including members of The Royal Family such as Prince Harry, who quickly had to jet back to the US to attend his son Prince Archie's birthday party.

All of this was despite the rainy weather which battered London on the historic day and led to the scaling back of the much-anticipated Red Arrows flypast. But this did not stop the thousands of parties that lined the streets of Britain over the course of the bank holiday weekend, or the coronation concert which boasted stars like Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.

Yet despite all the celebrities in attendance, the biggest takeaway was what Prince William said in his speech in honour of the new King, which was not the first father-and-son moment on the weekend of the coronation after the pair shared a heartfelt exchange during the ceremony that saw William break tradition.

The Prince of Wales paid tribute to his dad's lifetime accomplishments, including his work with helping young people through the Prince's Trust Awards and his environmental campaigns. He also explained how proud his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, would be of her eldest son officially taking on the reigns as the UK and Commonwealth's new head of state.
