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

A symbol of strength and hope 🇺🇦 On Ukraine’s Independence Day - and every day - the UK stands with the Ukrainian people. #StandWithUkraine

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. #VJDay80

The flag of the 🇬🇧 Overseas Territory of the #FalklandIslands 🇫🇰 flies proudly over the @FCDOGovUK today in Whitehall to mark #FalklandsDay

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.

Happy #FalklandsDay! 🇫🇰 Delighted to share a message from His Majesty The King to the people of the Falkland Islands #Falklands

Governors' uniforms are paid for by the Falkland Islands Government, which decides if each new Governor will wear one. They are individually tailored and not passed on. So where more fitting for mine to be kept than the wonderful @FIMuseum in Stanley?

It was a wonderful afternoon to catch up with everyone at FIGO Thank you, Richard for hosting us!

Adding my good wishes to @Colin_M_R as takes up the offices of Governor of the #Falklands and Commissioner for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands @GHFalklands @GovSGSSI

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Blue Belt Programme, I want to congratulate everyone working with our UK Overseas Territories to protect waters across every major ocean basin - one of the world's largest networks of Marine Protected Areas! 👏👏👏👏#BlueBelt10Years

Another year of ocean protection 🌊 We’ve been supporting 10 UK Overseas Territories from Antarctic waters to tropical reefs and together we're safeguarding more than 4 million km² of marine environment for future generations. Discover more: bit.ly/3UvSFd3 #UKOTs

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. #WEURO2025

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. gov.uk/government/new…

Wishing a very happy birthday to Prince George! 🎈🎊

Wishing the very best of luck to the Falkland Islands Basketball Team who are taking part in the Ynys Mon Inter-Islands Games! 🇫🇰🏀 The Falklands began their Games with a cracking 82-79 win over Guernsey this morning. 👏
