"And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife
Kate will instead be a queen consort, the wife of a reigning king (William, of course). In the role, she will support her husband in his duties, attend engagements, and help with charitable organizations that resonate with her.
The Carolean era began after King Charles ascended to the throne, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8, 2022. The word Carolean comes from the name Charles. The name of the era under the present Monarch is normally derived from their first name.
The title was originally known as the “Princess Consort” but Queen Elizabeth II announced that it was her “sincere wish” that the Duchess of Cornwall will be known as Queen Consort when Charles becomes King. From Saturday (6 May), however, Camilla will be known as Queen Camilla, not Queen Consort.
William has ostensibly been training to become King for his entire life, but what will Kate's role be once William ascends to the throne? As the wife of a reigning monarch, she will become what's known as the Queen consort.
I will too! Answer: The big reason Prince Charles and Camilla Shand, as she was then known, didn't get married in the early 1970s: He never asked her. And there are probably a number of reasons for that. In his early 20s, like many other young men, Charles simply wasn't ready for marriage.
As per royal tradition, Charles will be officially crowned as King with St Edward's Crown during the Coronation. This will be the first and only time that Charles, 74, will wear the 17th-century crown.
Charles is now King—here's who will follow him to the throne. When Queen Elizabeth died, her eldest son and heir, the former Prince Charles, automatically became King Charles, and the line of succession shifted.
Carolean comes from the Latin name for Charles (Carolus) which is where we get the name of this current era. Unsurprisingly, Elizabethan was taken from the name Elizabeth. This is not the first time the UK has entered into a Carolean age, but it is quite a while since the first instance.
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert.
Royal Inheritance
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.
Why isn't Kate called Princess? Even though Kate's mother-in-law was legendary 'Princess Diana', she is not a princess just because she married Prince William. To become a Princess, one has to be born into the Royal Family such as Prince William and Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
But the majority of experts believe the the coronation will cost approximately between €57 million - €113 million (£50 million to £100 million). Unlike weddings, which are paid for by the Royal Family, the coronation is a state function hence taxpayers will mostly be footing the bill.
More recently, the "New Elizabethan age" was the period during which Queen Elizabeth II reigned. It started with the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952 which saw the Queen crowned at age 27 and it ended after her death on 8 September 2022.
His Majesty King Charles III, the first British monarch to be crowned in the twenty-first century, will take the monarchy into the future in what is now the new Carolean era.
So, the bottom line? Yes, Prince Harry could one day be King...but there'd need to be a lot of unfortunate and premature deaths in order for that to happen. And even if it did happen, there's no certainty that the present Duke of Sussex would actually want to take on the role (he could very well choose to abdicate).
The short answer is no, since the line of succession automatically changed when Charles became King following the passing of Queen Elizabeth. As it stands, Prince William is the current heir to the throne, followed by his son Prince George, and so on.
The queen had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward. Although Anne is older than two of her brothers, she is farther down the line of succession because of an old law that allowed men to skip over women in the line.
Also rich in history, this topper was commissioned for Queen Mary in either 1913 or 1914 by House of Garrard from pearls and diamonds already owned by her family. Kate wearing the Lotus Flower Tiara in December 2022.
Prince William
The now-Prince of Wales is first in line to the throne. He will succeed the throne after his father, King Charles.
'Who owns the Crown Jewels?'
The Crown Jewels are held in trust by the king or queen for the nation. They are passed to the next monarch on their accession (when they become king or queen).
Camilla may have been at Diana's wedding but she was not welcome at her funeral, which was watched by an estimated 2.5 billion people around the world. Still, to many her absence echoed around the ancient hall. The Queen made it clear to Charles that he could not take his paramour to the service.
However, the royal family wasn't interested in having Camilla as its princess. For one thing, she was perceived as an “experienced” woman, which was a nonstarter for the royal family back then in terms of a suitable spouse for Prince Charles.
While married to Prince Charles, Diana was known as Her Royal Highness.
As it is a state event, a coronation is paid for by the UK Government. Organisation involves ministers, the Royal Household, the Church of England and the Commonwealth Realms.
