What is the British royal order of succession after Queen Elizabeth II’s death?

The death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 means that her eldest son, Charles, Prince of Wales, is the new British king.

The palace announced she died at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland, where members of the royal family had rushed to her side after her health took a turn for the worse.

Prior to her Platinum Jubilee in 2022, Elizabeth expressed her "sincere wish" that Charles' wife, Camilla be known as "Queen Consort" when Charles ascended to the throne. The request tied up a loose end that had hung over the House of Windsor since Charles’ divorce from the popular Princess Diana. It was also seen as an effort to safeguard a smooth transition.
