At home and on the world stage, the Queen served with grace and unfailing duty. Now her son must rise to the challenge.

Britain is struggling to understand its place in the modern world at a time of great global instability and after the hugely consequential decision to leave the European Union. It is only right to wish him strength, courage and good fortune for the years of public duty that lie ahead. He gave some important hints about how he will approach his new role, acknowledging that it will require him to step back from the charities and issues on which he has worked as the Prince of Wales. The international tributes and heartfelt expressions of sympathy from politicians and public figures from across the world speak to just how global a presence the Queen commanded and the affection within which she was held internationally. The 2012 Olympics opening ceremony featured a skit in which she accompanied Daniel Craig as James Bond from the palace to the Olympic Stadium; her own idea, which she had kept secret from the rest of her family. The other challenge facing him is the modernisation of the monarchy. He has long been clear as heir to the throne that he views slimming down the royal family to a leaner institution, with fewer minor royals supported by the British taxpayer, as key to its survival. Her death marks a profound moment of transition for the UK; as the country celebrates her life and grieves her loss, her son Charles assumes the role of King at a time of great economic, international, political and constitutional uncertainty. On rare occasions her role became historically important, such as her 2011 visit to the Republic of Ireland, the first by a British monarch in more than 100 years. Surprisingly, given quite how abnormal a life she has had to lead, she has also helped to embody a sense of national identity. But in the Queen, Britain benefited from a monarch who understood her role and its limits in a democracy and who for decades served her people unfailingly and without complaint. “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be short or long shall be devoted to your service.” In so doing, she accepted her destiny as a future monarch: a lifetime of duty and an identity for evermore indistinguishable from head of state.

Charles, who spent seven decades as heir apparent, automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday.

He was greeted with shouts of “Well done, Charlie!” and “God save the king!” One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek. lawmakers lined up in the House of Commons to take an oath of loyalty to the new king. as he announced the news, and scarlet-robed soldiers in the palace courtyard doffed their bearskin hats in a royal salute.
