Britain’s new king will be formally known as Charles III, his Clarence House residence confirmed Thursday, after suggestions that queen Elizabeth II’s heir might have taken a different regnal name.
Charles’s eldest son William inherits the duchy of Cornwall in addition to his current title of duke of Cambridge.
Charles III is the longest-serving heir-apparent in British history.
Aged 73, he has been heir to the throne since the age of just three, when his mother became Queen Elizabeth II.
