The Queen is dead; long live the King
The Queen is dead; long live King Charles the Third, who assumed the title at once and will begin his duties immediately.
Elizabeth II, Queen of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, died less than an hour ago. She was 96 years old and reigned for seventy years.
From Queen to King
Her son, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, is now known as His Majesty Charles the Third. His wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, now becomes Her Majesty the Queen Consort, as the late Queen wished.
His first duty will be to address his subjects – which likely has already happened at time of posting. Tomorrow he will accept a formal proclamation of his kingship, and then meet with Prime Minister Liz Truss and other members of her government to take a briefing. The Coronation will likely wait for as long as a year, to give his subjects time to mourn.
The Republic Campaign has made no statement, suggesting that Her Majesty’s death caught them completely off guard.
