KING CHARLES SAYS UK GOVERNMENT 'MOVING FORWARD' WITH DIGITAL ID King Charles III kicked off Parliament on Tuesday by breaking down the UK government’s coming legislative plans, with a key announcement being the introduction of a national digital ID. The proposal was included in the government’s upcoming Digital Access to Services Bill, with the King stating that ministers “will also proceed with the introduction of Digital ID that will modernise how citizens interact with public services.” It’s part of a larger effort by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government to move ID into the digital era and to digitize access to services in both the private and public sectors. The government claims that digital IDs will not be mandatory. Officials say the scheme will be free for those who choose it. Full article: https://humanevents.com/2026/05/13/king-charles-says-uk-government-moving-forward-with-digital-id(FXHedge)
