Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son, took the throne after Queen Elizabeth’s passing on September 8. Changes in England are guaranteed and so will the roles within the Royal Family. Prince Charles, now known as King Charles lll, is the oldest monarch ever to take the throne. He has prepared for almost all of his life and is the oldest of Queen Elizabeth’s four children. Now that King Charles has taken the throne, what will this mean for his wife Camilla Rosemary Shand? His first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash soon after their divorce. This leaves Camilla to take the role of the Queen of Consort, according to Queen Elizabeth’s wish for her son’s wife. With all of this, which of his two children will take his previous role? Prince William is the eldest son of two and will take the title of Prince of Wales (King Charles’s previous).
