Proclamation Gallery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Proclamation Gallery is a part of the St. James Palace in London, England. It is used after the death of a reigning monarch. The Accession Council meets to declare the new monarch from the deceased monarchs line, and once the decision is made and the monarch makes a sacred oath to the council they step into the Proclamation Gallery which overlooks Friary Court to make the announcement of the new monarch.
