Britain’s Prince Charles will succeed his mother Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of the Commonwealth after the heads of Government agreed on his succession today, a day after the 91-year-old monarch said it was her “sincere wish” that her son would succeed her in the role “one day”. According to British media reports, the Commonwealth leaders have reached an agreement on the succession of the 69-year-old heir to the British throne at a closed-door Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting retreat in Windsor Castle.
