King Charles speech: Monarch addresses nation for first time after Queen's death
King Charles III has addressed the nation in person for the first time as our new monarch, following the sad death of his mother. The Queen passed away peacefully at Balmoral in Aberdeenshire on Thursday, September 8, at the age of 96, ending the longest royal reign in British history.
His Majesty, who will be formally proclaimed as the new sovereign tomorrow, gave a moving speech just hours after arriving at Buckingham Palace on Friday. He said: “I speak to you today, with feelings of profound sorrow. Throughout her life, Her Majesty the Queen, my beloved mother, was an inspiration and example to me and to all our family.
"We owe her the most heartfelt debt any family can owe to their mother; for her love, affection, guidance, understanding and example."
Prince Harry comforted by Aberdeen Airport worker after leaving Balmoral alone
Prince Harry was pictured being offered comfort from an Aberdeen Airport worker this morning following the death of his beloved grandmother, the Queen.
The Duke of Sussex was seen talking to the ground staff member just before he boarded a plane to leave Scotland and his other relatives who travelled up to be by the monarch's bedside. Prince Harry put his hand on the caring worker's back as they had a chat and looked emotional about whatever they were discussing.
The grieving Prince was at the airport alone, as he was the previous day when he arrived to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.
Edinburgh road closures as Queen to be moved from Balmoral to Scots capital
A number of major Edinburgh roads have closed as the Queen's body is moved from Balmoral to the Scots capital.
The City of Edinburgh Council have warned locals to expect 'significant disruption' in the coming days, as the body of the monarch is moved to the capital following her death on Thursday, reports Edinburgh Live.
Buckingham Palace issued a statement yesterday confirming that the Queen had passed away at her Balmoral Estate. The body will be moved to Edinburgh in the coming days, before heading down to London.
Martin Lewis issues new energy warning to people on fixed tariffs who may now pay more for bills
Martin Lewis recently shared a handy list of need-to-knows for all households following the announcement from new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, that energy bills for the average user will be frozen at no more than £2,500 for the next two years.
The Prime Minister’s plan will save the average household around £1,000 from October and protect billpayers from further expected rises over the coming months. For businesses and other non-domestic users such as schools and hospitals, which have not been covered by the existing price cap, a six-month scheme will offer equivalent support.
However, the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com has now posted an "important" update warning people that some of the information around fixed tariffs may be changing which could “impact choices people are making right now”.

The Scottish Parliament has temporarily closed following the death of the Queen yesterday.
All parliamentary business at Holyrood has been suspended and will not resume until after a state funeral has been held in London - with a date to be announced in the coming days. The streets around the Scottish Parliament have already been closed to traffic in preparation for the Queen's funeral procession.
