King Charles III capped off his profoundly personal and touching debut as monarch by quoting from Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece Hamlet. However, some viewers later admitted that the line was wrong: 'May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest' reminded them not of the great Bard, but instead of silly Blackadder. The quotation appears at the end of Hamlet, when his friend Horatio opines: "Now cracks a noble heart." 'Good night, sweet prince,' and angel flights soar to thy rest.' After the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96, the King - referring to his 'darling mama' - cried out on Friday evening: 'I want simply to say thank you.' Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our families and the families of nations in which you have served so faithfully all this year. 'Flights of Angels sing thee to the thy rest' Rather, some of those who attended the King's address said it reminded them of a scene from Blackadder II, the second series of the beloved Rowan Atkinson historical sitcom, when Lady Farrow, played by Holly De Jong, attempts to save her husband before his execution.
