Britain’s new king will be formally known as Charles III, his Clarence House residence confirmed Thursday, after suggestions that Queen Elizabeth II’s heir might have taken a different regnal name.
Charles’s eldest son William inherits the duchy of Cornwall in addition to his current title of duke of Cambridge. Meanwhile, Charles’ wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will be known as Queen Consort – a title that came with Queen Elizabeth II’s blessing.
From the national anthem to notes, coins, stamps, postboxes and passports: Many aspects of life in Britain and beyond will change with the accession of Charles to the throne.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II means changes to the names of institutions throughout Britain and the wider Commonwealth realms.
Meanwhile, her effigy on currency and cipher on insignia will also be replaced with those of the new king.
