Traditionally di King no dey attend.

For di meeting, dem go announce di death of Queen Elizabeth, na di Lord President of di Privy Council (currently Penny Mordaunt MP), go announce am and dem go read aloud one proclamation.

Di wording of di proclamation fit change, but traditionally e don be series of prayers and pledges, praising di former monarch and pledging support for di new one.

Then, dis proclamation go come dey sign by some number of senior figures including di prime minister, di Archbishop of Canterbury, and di Lord Chancellor.

As with all these ceremonies, dem go pay attention to wetin fit change, add or update, as a sign of a new era.

Di King first declaration

Di Accession Council go meet again - usually a day later - and dis time, di King go attend, along with di Privy Council.
