What happens when he dies
After Charles dies, Prince William, the heir apparent to the British throne, will become king and his wife Kate Middleton will be queen consort.
After an official announcement is made to the public, the new king will deliver a broadcast to the nation, like Charles did when his mom died.
The late king will lie in state in the Palace of Westminster for mourning and his last resting place will most likely be in the royal vault in King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle.
When the time comes, the royals will be ready for a funeral fit for a King.
“The palace is giving the impression that Charles is on the mend, but he’s still very sick,” an insider tells In Touch in an August 2024 interview. “Officials will make sure a funeral for the king meets his wishes and expectations while following proper protocol.”
