With the death of Elizabeth II at the age of 96, a page turns for the United Kingdom. While the people mourn their “grandmother”, it is also a new era which opens for the royal family, with some major changes.
Since the tragic announcement of the death of Elizabeth II, Great Britain meditates and shares its memories of the sovereign. We now know that Prince Charles is now the King Charles III, a function for which he has been preparing since childhood. As for William, he will soon become Prince of Wales, and Kate, Princess of Wales, the title formerly given to Diana, which had automatically reverted to Camilla when she married her lifelong love, but never used it, out of respect for Diana.
