It is a huge honour to serve as UK Foreign Secretary.
From Russian aggression in Europe to the horrendous famine and conflict in Gaza - when UK diplomacy has never been more important.
I look forward to representing and promoting British interests around the world. @FCDOGovUK

Today, 80 years on from VJ Day, we remember all those who sacrificed their lives in the Second World War.
At Far East Corner of the National Memorial Arboretum, The King viewed tributes and met representatives from VJ associations, including the Burma Star Memorial Fund, The Chindit Society, Far East Prisoners of War and Children of Far East Prisoners of War.

Today the Falkland Islands celebrate Falklands Day, the anniversary of the first recorded sighting of the Falkland Islands.
See below a public statement from the Legislative Assembly, marking the day and celebrating the growth of the Islands in the 433 years since the sighting.

Another year of ocean protection 🌊

A message from The King to Sarina Wiegman, the mighty @Lionesses and all in their support team, following their success in this evening’s Women’s Euros semi-final.

It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed seeking aid. The Gaza Humanitarian Fund has failed, as it was clear it would.
With 25 other countries, we condemn the inhumane killing of people seeking their most basic needs.

#OnThisDay in 1970 the world-changing SS Great Britain arrived back home to Bristol. Looking vastly different to when the ship left the dock in 1843, she was still greeted by cheers from the people of Bristol who celebrated her return. 🙌 (1/3)
