Charles III (ex-Prince Charles) will be officially announced as the new King of Great Britain on Saturday, although earlier it was said that this would happen today. The Times reported this morning. So, early in the morning of September 9, the new king and queen consort Camilla will return from the Scottish castle of Balmoral, where Elizabeth II died the day before in the 97th year.

He has held this hereditary position since 2002 and is responsible for organizing the upcoming funeral, the exact date of which is not yet known.
