King Charles will lead the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth into the new era.
September 09, 2022 - 22:14 BST Emily Nash, Rebecca Lewis As the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles has spent a lifetime preparing to reign, but now the 73-year-old is taking on his greatest role to date at a moment of enormous personal loss. As the world mourns Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III and his family are grieving for their beloved “Mummy”,"Granny" and"Gan Gan".
More than 50 years of campaigning on climate change and sustainability positioned him as a respected authority on both topics. Those who know him paint a picture of a man who cares deeply about people and the issues they are facing, and about his own impact on the world.Among the causes close to his heart have been youth opportunity, religious tolerance, diversity and the plight of refugees.
In recent years he took responsibility for voicing the royal family’s regret over “abhorrent” slavery and continued to “listen and learn” from indigenous and marginalised communities. This approach is now more important than ever as he succeeds his mother as Head of the Commonwealth.He will be supported by his Queen Consort
King Charles and Queen Camilla are now arguably the UK’s most important ambassadors, and will continue to fly the flag on overseas visits. Developing technology has also allowed the new monarch to forge strong relationships with world leaders over the past few years in preparation for his role.
