The line of succession, the person next in line for the British throne, is always changing for the royal family. Positions move up or down as births and deaths realign the royal family tree.
Coronated in 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was the nation's longest-reigning monarch, with more than 70 years on the throne. Lineage, religion, and primogeniture – the right of succession claimed by the firstborn child – determine her successor. The queen's eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, 73, immediately became King Charles III upon her death. Charles' wife became Queen Consort Camilla.Stories like this are possible because of our subscribers like you. Your support will allow us to continue to produce quality journalism.
