Death is inevitable. We all make specific plans for every single day and forth, but we never know whether we will be able there to enjoy them or not. Every day, dozens of people are born into this world and vice versa. The British knew that one day or another, The Queen had to die, but no one could’ve predicted when, where, or how. Similar is the case with Queen Elizabeth’s death, but as her age kept increasing, people were already thinking and making assumptions about who would be the next king on the throne.
Who’s next in line after Queen Elizabeth dies?
It seemed pretty evident that prince Charles of Wales was the man for the throne right after Queen Elizabeth, but prince Charles made a statement that there were chances the Queen would leave the throne on her 95th birthday. However, this didn’t happen because she said there aren’t any health errors now. But we all knew that sooner or later, we had to witness this day, but before we shed light on the list of successors and throne changes, we might see in the future, let us give you a short introduction to Queen Elizabeth.
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth Alexandra was born on 21st April 1926 in Mayfair and was the Queen of the United Kingdom from 6th February 1952 till her death on 8th September 2022. She has the longest reign as British Monarch that is of 70 years and 214 days.
Queen Elizabeth Early Life
Elizabeth’s father (Geroge VI) took the throne in 1936 when his brother was renounced from his throne. Elizabeth was known as the heir to the throne at a very young age of 10 as she was her parents’ first and elder daughter. He knew that she had started her early education at home and also started managing public duties assigned to her. In 1947 she got married to Philip Mountbatten, who was the prince of Greece earlier and had later served as the consort of the British Monarch. The marriage had no problems whatsoever and lasted for nearly 73 years with four children Charles III, Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.
Elizabeth was still fulfilling her duties as an heir, but just five years after her marriage, her father died, and she became the Queen of the seven commonwealth countries. During her reign, she has gone through many ups and downs, which is understanding. She has visited different countries for different purposes, but some of her visits have played a significant role. Which include
- State visit to China in 1986
- Her visit to Russia in 1994
- Visiting the Republic of Ireland in 2011
She has made various achievements with the passage of time; the best part is that she made those achievements as a queen for her country, not as an individual for herself.
Prince Charles, The next King
Charles Philip Arthur George, born in November 1948, right after one year of marriage to Queen Elizabeth, is now king of the United Kingdom. King Charles accepted the throne after the death of his mother on 8th September. No doubt the death has saddened the whole palace, including Charles himself. During the episode of the Royal Bea, he said, “Most likely, the queen will step down from the throne on her 95th birthday”. This was expected and rumored all around the globe, but the palace released a report that was the opposite of what Charle’s had said. This was because the Queen also spoke on this matter as she was fine back in those days, and she had thought with a different perspective.
Well, whatever the issue may be back in days. Things were sorted out quite well because he was the king. But since there is confusion regarding the gender preference for the throne, let us clear these confusions from the Succession to the crown act of 2013, which Queen Elizabeth passed. Before this, according to the laws, Succession of the throne was passed to the son as he had precedence over daughters, but now the throne would be given to the eldest child regardless of gender.
After prince Charles, the next in line for the throne is Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, who is the son of King Charles. His wife died in a car crash that stormed the media. And then following him is his elder child, and thus things keep going on and on.
Conclusion
Queen Elizabeth has achieved so much in her 70-year rule of Britain. She wasn’t an average Queen, but she had done much in every field. Let it be sports, politics, or welfare. She was not a queen but an example for many people in the UK. Politicians, sportspeople, and journalists, her death has shaken so many people as death is a reality that many don’t like to think about or face.
