Britain’s monarchy is one of the oldest in the world to still fulfil a constitutional function, stretching back more than 1,000 years, with a brief revolutionary interlude in the 17th century.
The monarch in Britain fulfils the function of head of state, as well as being a ceremonial figurehead and international ambassador for the nation.
There is never a time where the throne is vacant, meaning that when one monarch dies, their successor immediately takes on the crown.
When Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, her eldest son, Prince Charles, acceded to the throne as King Charles III. In his new role, Charles swiftly appointed his heir, Prince William, as the new Prince of Wales.
