ow King s De ' t Changes 5uccessi mm
With the death of Britain's King George VI and t he accession to the throne of his older daughter,
Elizabeth, the status of other members of the roya I family changes drastically, as shown below. The
British royal succession always goes through the male line.
Three-year-old Prince Charles
becomes heir apparent and, if
he lives, will eventually succeed
his mother, the new Queen on
the throne. He does not auto-
matically become Prince of
Wales, but must be elected to

Queen Mother when King Ed-
ward Vill, now the Duke of
Windsor, ascended the throne,
now becomes just "Queen Mary"

title after the abdication and
through George VI's reign be-
