The terrible day has come! Queen Elizabeth died peacefully this afternoon at the age of 96. The queen, weakened for several weeks, holds the record for longevity with her 70-year reign. A jubilee he celebrated with great fanfare a few months ago, surrounded by his loved ones and people.
The Palace posted the Queen’s announcement on social media: “The Queen died peacefully this afternoon in Balmoral (his residence in Scotland, editor’s note). The King and Queen consort will stay at Balmoral tonight and return to London tomorrow.”

This announcement therefore leaves no room for doubt, Charles will be the new king of England and his wife, Camilla, will be his queen consort. A title given to him by the monarch a few months before his death. The 73-year-old Charles will thus become the oldest king to ever ascend to the throne of England. By far, the oldest ever crowned king is Guillaume IV (William for English). He was 64 years old when he became king in 1830.
II. According to the protocol that determined the course of the days following Elizabeth’s death, Prince Charles must be officially declared king in the main hall of the Royal Palace on Friday, September 9, 2022, the day after his mother’s death. St. James. But he will still have to wait before he is formally crowned in Westminster Abbey by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
We learn from the Prime Minister’s speech that the new king will bear the title of Charles III. Second, his mother was Queen Elizabeth II. He sent out a heartbreaking press release following Elizabeth’s death: “Dear mother, the death of Her Majesty the Queen is a moment of greatest sorrow for me and for my entire family. We mourn the passing of a beloved monarch and a very dear mother. Beloved.”
The death of the queen also upsets the succession order of the throne. Charles’ eldest son, Prince William, thus becomes the Prince of Wales and his wife Kate, Princess of Wales. Their 9-year-old eldest son, George, is second in order of accession, followed by his sister Charlotte and brother Louis. Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, therefore ranks 5th on the list.
