Charles succeeds to the throne, the government has confirmed.

Mrs Parker Bowles will be known as the Duchess of Cornwall after the
marriage.
When Charles becomes king, she will be known as Princess Consort rather
than as the Queen.
Thurrock MP Mr Mackinlay asked if next month's marriage was
"morganatic", which would mean that Mrs Parker Bowles would not
inherent the title of queen.
Mr Leslie said that it was not a morganatic marriage.
Government sources have said that legislation would be needed to
"comply with her wishes not to become queen".
Mr Mackinlay said such a legislation change "shouldn't be done for one
man and one man alone".
