King Charles III Era Begins After Queen Elizabeth’s Death— Here’s Who Is Next In Line For The Throne
When Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday afternoon, the crown was immediately passed on to her eldest son and heir, now King Charles III, as part of the United Kingdom’s constitutional monarchy system.
At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales.
But there are a number of practical - and traditional - steps which he must go through to be crowned King.
He now known as King Charles III.
That was the first decision of the new king's reign. He could have chosen from any of his four names - Charles, Philip, Arthur and George.
He is not the only one who faces a change of title. Prince William and his wife Catherine are now titled Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, and the king has conferred on them the title of Prince and Princess of Wales.
There is also a new title for Charles' wife, Camilla, who becomes the Queen Consort - consort is the term used for the spouse of the monarch.
Formal ceremonies
Charles was officially proclaimed King on Saturday. This happen at St James's Palace in London, in front of a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council.
This is made up of members of the Privy Council - a group of senior MPs, past and present, and peers - as well as some senior civil servants, Commonwealth high commissioners, and the Lord Mayor of London.
Charles is now king, Buckingham Palace said in a statement announcing Elizabeth’s death, though a coronation—traditionally held at Westminster Abbey—which officially crown the new king (He took the regnal title of King Charles III, British Prime Minister Liz Truss said Thursday).
King Charles III has been proclaimed Canada's head of state at a ceremony held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed the order-in-council and the proclamation for the accession on Saturday in the presence of the Governor General Mary Simon. The event was marked with 21 gun salutes, which lasted a little over three minutes. Samy Khalid, Chief Herald of Canada, read the proclamation on the accession of King Charles III.
