King Charles children: Who is next in line for the throne?

WASHINGTON — As King Charles III is officially crowned at his coronation, people may be wondering who’s next in line.

Charles has been king since the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September. While his wife, Camilla, was also crowned at the coronation, because she is not a member of the royal family by blood, she would not take over the throne if Charles were to die or step down. It was the same situation when Prince Phillip was alive and married to Elizabeth.
