DARK SECRETS: All the ways that king charles has already done things differently as he takes to the throne | Rare Historical Photos

At the age of 73, and after spending 70 years as heir to the throne, Charles has become King. This comes after the Queen died at Balmoral yesterday, aged 96, leaving the UK in a period of official mourning.

The Prince of Wales acceded to the throne immediately on the death of his mother. King Charles is expected to be proclaimed as the new King at the Accession Council at 10am tomorrow.
