Following the death of the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II, the son, Prince Charles is now the King of England.
Queen Elizabeth’s children, alongside Prince William and Prince Harry, had kept company of the late queen at Balmoral after doctors expressed worrying concerns over her health.
But, she died hours later after being surrounded by her family.
Prince Charles’ ascension to the throne will mark a celebration of her historic 70-year reign that saw her witness her Platinum Jubilee this year.
This has been described as a landmark unlikely to be reached again by a British monarch.
Queen Elizabeth’s passing comes more than a year after her husband Philip died aged 99 in April 2021. Since his death, her own health faltered, and she was forced to miss an increasing number of events mainly due to ‘mobility problems’ and tiredness.
In a statement issued by the Royal Family on behalf of Charles, the new King said "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. We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother."
“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.”
