Charles will not be changing his name, as was previously speculated. He will be known as King Charles III. Charles was nine when he was given the title the Prince of Wales. He's now 74, and ascended to the throne immediately following his mother Queen Elizabeth's death.
Charles would have had the option of using any of his other names, with his full name being Charles Philip Arthur George. Of course, King Arthur has connotations of a chivalric leader, while King George VII would have been a fitting tribute to his late mother, whose father had styled himself as King George.
"What do you want to be called?" William laughed it off and declined to comment. Like his father, if William chooses to use his first name he would be known as King William V. As previously stated by a hilarious young student, William the Conqueror was the first King William.
Who inherits the Queen's wealth? King Charles is the sole beneficiary of the Queen's wealth, including her £650 million estate. On top of this, she amassed tens of millions of pounds in her own cash and assets, mainly from art and racehorses.
He will not become king until his mother, Queen Elizabeth, abdicates (gives up the throne), retires or dies. When either of these happen, Prince Charles may abdicate and pass the throne to his eldest son Prince William.
Prince William is now first-in-line to the British throne. He married Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, on 29 April 2011 and they share three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. When Prince William becomes King, Kate Middleton will be known as Queen Consort.
We also know that the younger of these two brothers died in 1952, twenty years before Edward, meaning the role of heir would have passed to Bertie's daughter, Elizabeth. Therefore, Elizabeth II would have still become Queen, even if Edward VIII hadn't abdicated.
So what will Prince Harry inherit from Queen Elizabeth? Representatives told Forbes in 2021 that Harry was not a beneficiary of any of the $100 million left to the royal family by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.
It's reported she put a large sum of money into a trust fund to be split between all of her great grandchildren, but as per an agreement, Prince Harry received more of the inheritance than Prince William.
Princess inherited Queen Elizabeth's jewellery

Kate Middleton's Title Will Be Queen Catherine When Prince William Becomes King.
Once Prince William becomes King, his wife Kate Middleton will take up the role of Queen Consort—and likely be known as either Queen Kate or Queen Catherine (depending on how fancy the vibes are).
To start, the Queen doesn't have the power to choose her successor on a whim. The 1701 Act of Settlement is the act of Parliament that determines the succession to the throne, and requires that a monarch's heir must be his or her direct successor (and a Protestant). That's Charles, not William.
The design was selected by Charles himself from a series of designs prepared by the College of Arms and features the King's initial "C" intertwined with the letter "R" for Rex with "III" denoting Charles III, with a Tudor Crown above the letters. Charles's Scottish cypher uses the Crown of Scotland instead.
With Charles becoming King, Prince William will take on new titles, including the traditional styling given to the king-in-waiting. William becomes Duke of Cornwall with Charles becoming King, and will be formally named as Prince of Wales.
The first name of William's eldest child Prince George [Alexander Louis] of Wales has only been used since the union of Great Britain. If Prince George chose the regnal name Alexander, he could choose the name Alexander IV, after the three earlier Scottish monarchs.
Representatives told Forbes in 2021 that Harry was not a beneficiary of any of the $100 million left to the royal family by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother.

Princess Charlotte has been refered as "the richest kid in the world" due to her status as a member of the British royal family, which is one of the wealthiest and most prominent royal families in the world.
That means that when they made the decision to step back from their roles as senior working royals, Harry and Meghan were left with a meager sum of $13 million (estimated by Forbes), largely made up of the inheritance from Harry's late mother's estate.

The conventional story of why Edward VIII came to abdicate in 1936 is well known and hardly needs any detailed rehearsal. The King abandoned the throne because he was determined on marrying the American divorcée Wallis Simpson, 'the woman I love', a union rejected by the political and royal Establishment.
Says Pasternak, "The duke always said that not once did he regret the abdication, because he was so happy."
