Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has died in Scotland. Prince Charles is now king.
It is a moment that the United Kingdom has been bracing for, with an elaborate plan for “Operation London Bridge” mapping out what happens next. But it comes as a shock all the same.
Among the past 10 British monarchs, Queen Elizabeth II lived and reigned the longest. She assumed the throne at 25 years of age and died at 96, making her the longest-reigning monarch at 70 years.
The queen died in Scotland on Thursday, making Prince Charles the new king.
