'Future history': how Charles III first trod the boards of London stage (The Guardian)

Playwright Mike Bartlett says his drama King Charles III, which premiered in 2014, included some uncanny predictions.

With Helen Mirren in the role of the monarch, it arguably started the bold trend for representing the contemporary royal family on screen. But we are seeing the last vestiges of all that, since we now all know more than we want to know, in some ways, about their personal lives.” But because of the life the Prince of Wales led, we know his views.” “Tim Pigott-Smith did not do an impression in my play, and there was no mockery in it,” said Bartlett. [Josh O’Connor also took on the role](https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/nov/28/josh-oconnor-the-crown-beyond-prince-charles-being-very-rich-and-posh-wheres-the-juice-to-him-wheres-the-stuff) of the uncomfortable young prince in The Crown, Peter Morgan’s Netflix series. To Play the King saw Michael Kitchen cast as a future monarch locked in a power struggle with a machiavellian Conservative prime minister, Francis Urquhart. In Steven Knight’s screenplay for the intense film In the case of the Queen, no one really knew what she thought. “Sitting at my desk on Friday, I could hear the bells ring out, as they do in my play,” he said. [premiered in 2014 at the Almeida theatre](https://almeida.co.uk/whats-on/king-charles-iii) in Islington, north London, with the late [Tim Pigott-Smith](https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2017/apr/09/tim-pigott-smith-obituary) in the title role, the new king takes issue with proposed government legislation to limit press freedom. An evocation of national mourning after the Queen’s funeral opens his drama. This weekend, Bartlett has watched scenes he had dared to envisage for the stage now playing out in real life.

The Queen's final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel - where her mother and father were buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret. They will then head to the Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, to receive a Motion of Condolence. Both have key roles in the busy days ahead as London Bridge gets fully under way - although Charles has yet to set out the details of royal court as monarch. He went on to say: 'I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me. Hip-Hip' with the troops responding 'Hooray' to each. And in Ottawa, a 28-member band of the Canadian Armed Forces played God Save the King during a 21-run gun salute at a proclamation ceremony attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Flags will return to half-mast at 1pm on Sunday after the Proclamation is read in Cardiff. I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of Sovereignty which have now passed to me. In all this, I am profoundly encouraged by the constant support of my beloved wife. They were joined by soldiers from the Royal Regiment of Scotland, where a drill is taking place in front of the cross in Edinburgh. They were accompanied by the regimental mascot, a Welsh billy goat called Lance Corporal Shenkin IV, and Goat Major Sergeant Mark Jackson. Guests at the event - including Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, Northern Ireland Office minister Steve Baker, DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, Alliance Party leader Naomi Long, Ulster Unionist leader Doug Beattie and Traditional Unionist Voice leader Jim Allister - joined together and said three cheers for Charles III.
