King Charles III will address the nation at 1700 GMT, House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said Friday following the new monarch's ascent to the throne on the death of his mother.

Hoyle said a special session of the House, called to pay tribute to Elizabeth II, would be suspended at 6:00 pm "while his Majesty the King makes his broadcast to the nation".
