Prince Charles Becomes King At Age 73 Following Queen Elizabeth’s Death

September 9th, 2022

Awake Goy

The longtime British heir apparent, who is 73, ascended to the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” the palace said Thursday. “The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

The queen, who lived to be 96, reigned for an astounding 70 years. Prince William, 40, and Prince George, 9, are now first and second in line to the throne.

Charles does not need a coronation ceremony in order to officially become king, as he gained the title immediately upon his mother’s death.

Shortly after news of his mother’s death broke, the new king, who will be known as King Charles III going forth, issued a statement.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” Charles said.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles during the state opening of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster in 2019. Charles has become the king of England following his mother’s death on Thursday.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother,” Charles’ statement continued. “I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held,” he said.

As sovereign, Charles has also assumed his mother’s titles as defender of the faith and supreme governor of the Church of England.

He is also now the head of the Commonwealth, a title that is not hereditary but decided upon by Commonwealth leaders.

Queen Elizabeth previously made it clear that it was her “sincere wish” for Charles to take over the title. The motion was formally approved by leaders in April 2018 after the late monarch’s endorsement.
