After the Queen's Passing, This Is What the New Royal Line of Succession Looks Like
Queen Elizabeth II's passing on Thursday, September 8, sent shockwaves throughout the Commonwealth, Realm, and rest of the world. This marks a new era for the monarchy, with Prince Charles, who will from now on be referred to as King Charles III, ascending to the throne.
King Charles is the oldest monarch ever to become King of the United Kingdom at the age of 73. His wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, on the other hand, will now be recognized as the Queen Consort. They've been married since 2005 and have received the Queen's blessing on more than one occasion.
The Queen wrote of the couple ahead of the 70th anniversary of her reign: "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service."
