King Charles III becomes new head of the Church of England
King Charles III, the son of Queen Elizabeth II, immediately became the head of the Church of England after her death, reports “The Guardian”.
Charles III became the heir to the Throne after the death of his grandfather George VI and the accession of his mother Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth II laid the crown of the Prince of Wales on the head of his firstborn son on July 1, 1969, at Caernarvon Castle in Wales. From then on, Charles has participated actively in public life, particularly sitting in the House of Lords. Prince Charles also became the first member of the royal family in three centuries to attend a Cabinet meeting.
The coronation of the new monarch will take place after a period of mourning (up to a year or so), but, technically, Charles III is already the King and head of the Anglican Church.
As reported, Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022.
