King Charles assumed the throne on Thursday, immediately following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth. In the days that followed, His Majesty proceeded with a series of formal duties, including addressing his new subjects on television and meeting with Prime Minister Liz Truss. 

On Sunday, King Charles will host a number of stately officials at Buckingham Palace, where he arrived by car this morning. The new monarch waved to the waiting public as he drove through the streets of London.

Charles is set to meet with the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland. They are set to meet in the 1844 Room, a setting considered to be one of the most important rooms in the place. Named for the year of Tsar Nicholas I's visit to the room, past visitors have included the Obamas and Angelina Jolie. The Queen's annual Christmas address has been filmed in the 1844 Room several times as well.

The King will next attend a reception with Realm High Commissioners in the Bow Room. Fellow attendees will include senior diplomats from Commonwealth countries such as Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, St. Christopher and Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 

The United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, will also be present at the event.

King Charles will return to the 1844 room to receive the Dean of Windsor, David Conner, in a private meeting. Conner has served in the estate clergy position since 1998, and spoke at Prince Philip's memorial service earlier this year, per the late royal's request.
