The eldest child of the late Queen Elizabeth II, Charles, Prince of Wales, who at 73 is the oldest heir apparent in British history, becomes king of United Kingdom.
Truetells Nigeria earlier reported that the longest-serving monarch in British history died aged 96, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday.
All her children — Charles, Princess Anne, 72, Prince Andrew, 62, and Prince Edward, 58, flocked to her Scottish Highland retreat, Balmoral.
They were joined by Charles’s sons, Prince William, and his brother Prince Harry.
Recall that Queen Elizabeth had two days back appointed Liz Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign and was seen smiling in photographs but looking frail and using a walking stick.
