FOLLOWING HIS MOTHER'S DEATH, KING CHARLES III ASCENDS TO THE THRONE
Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth II's eldest son and heir, ascended to the throne upon her death.
The Queen was last seen in public when she received Liz Truss, the new British Prime Minister. As the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Charles, Prince of Wales, is the heir apparent to the British throne.
Since 1952, the 73-year-old has served as heir apparent, Duke of Cornwall, and Duke of Rothesay, making him both the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in British history. The throne was given to the heir, Charles, immediately and without ceremony.
The first decision of the new king's reign was to name him King Charles III. He could have chosen any of his four names - Charles Philip Arthur George, for example. He is not the only one facing a title change. There will also be a new title for Charles' wife, who will be known as Queen Consort - consort is the term used for the monarch's spouse.
