At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales.
But there are a number of practical - and traditional - steps which he must go through to be crowned King.
What will he be called?
One of his first acts is to decide whether to reign as King Charles III, or take another name.
For instance, his grandfather George VI's first name was Albert, but he reigned using one of his middle names. Charles could choose from any of his four names - Charles Philip Arthur George.
He is not the only one who faces a change of title.
Although he is heir to the throne, Prince William will not automatically become Prince of Wales. However, he immediately inherits his father's other title, Duke of Cornwall. His wife Catherine will be known as the Duchess of Cornwall.
There will also be a new title for Charles' wife, whose full title will be Queen Consort - consort is the term used for the spouse of the monarch.
Formal ceremonies
In the first 24 hours or so after his mother's death, Charles will be officially proclaimed King. This happens at St James's Palace in London, in front of a ceremonial body known as the Accession Council.
This is made up of members of the Privy Council - a group of senior MPs, past and present, and peers - as well as some senior civil servants, Commonwealth high commissioners, and the Lord Mayor of London.
More than 700 people are entitled in theory to attend, but given the short notice, the actual number is likely to be far fewer. At the last Accession Council in 1952, about 200 attended.
The King does not traditionally attend.

The rise of the Antichrist maybe? One of his last speeches should scare the hell out of anyone.
King of the Tampons.
Same here.
King Jugears
Would not surprise me if he took the name King Mohammed, since he bows down to the MooseLimbs. He’s also a big Climate Change worshiper. Look for the UK to soon ban all gas powered engines.
Is Camiller the Queen consort?
Per the Prime Minister, he’s officially King Charles III.
“Didn’t he cheat on his wife?”
You mean Prince Philip? A man who knew them well took exception to one documentary mentioning his “many infidelities”. He said that absolutely is not true. Said theirs was one of the “great love stories of the 20th Century”.
actually the family name is Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
they took the name of Windsor Castle cuz they were fighting the Germans
it didnt look good
i believe the royal family has been German since King George a German prince
Chaz the Spaz.
Big changes happening in the UK and they seem to be in a negative trend. Charles is a leftist eco-weenie twit. The new PM has declared her cabinet to be a “no go” zone for white Christian males.
Hey, a chance for a non-legendary King Arthur! Does he have Excalibur in the Royal Armory?
Honestly, I can’t believe we still have such silliness as royalty. Unserious relic for an unserious world these days.
Can they photograph him from behind???
Charles III...
Because the first two worked out so well...
Can’t wait to see who Chuck’s Councillors of State will be.
Given his age, that’s going to be an issue.
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
I’m pretty sure her drivers license says “windsor”
The depopulist...this ought to be sporty. Maybe Prince Phillip reincarnated into a depopulating virus, like he said he wanted, and got the old gal?
for the Queen Elizabeth fans
the current british monarchy is fairly toothless
but monarchs are tyranny pure and simple
if the brits like to keep them around for special occasions and they dont mind paying for them
fine
but they are relics of bygone tyranny
