Queen Elizabeth II has died at age 96. The royal family gathered
at her bedside in Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Britain’s longest-reigning monarch has been planning for her
succession for some time. Members of the royal family, including
Charles, the longest-serving heir in British history, have
increased their responsibilities as the queen’s health has
declined.
Who will inherit the throne now that Queen Elizabeth has died?
Charles, as the queen’s eldest son, inherits the sovereign title
and job as head of the Commonwealth, along with other assets
such as land and property.
In the past, the queen expressed desire for Charles to take over
the Commonwealth. “It is my sincere wish that the Commonwealth
will continue to offer stability and continuity for future
generations, and will decide that one day the Prince of Wales
should carry on the important work started by my father in
1949,” she said in 2018 after he was unanimously voted to be the
next head.
