The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." With the Queen's passing, her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, 73, immediately became King Charles III. "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family," a black-bordered statement from "His Majesty the King" read.
