Following the death of Queen Elizbeth II, the nation must undergo a number of changes. But perhaps none is so significant as the accession of the new monarch. The role has been taken up by the Queen's first born son, who will be crowned King Charles III. With this change, it is natural for some confusion to follow. After all, many people will not be used to having a King, given Queen Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952.
Fortunately, royal experts are on hand to lend advice. Debrett's, the self-proclaimed "record-keeper and chronicler of British society", has confirmed how the King and his Queen Consort should be addressed.

"Charles is addressed as Your Majesty then Sir," according to a spokeswoman for Debrett's. It is also important to take note of the correct titles to use when addressing his wife.
"Camilla should be addressed as Your Majesty and then Ma'am," the spokeswoman added.
And the etiquette expert shared an insight into her new position, for anyone unfamiliar with the role of the Queen Consort.
Debrett's website explains: "As the consort of the new Monarch, The Duchess of Cornwall is now HM The Queen Consort. This does not mean she has the same rights or powers as Queen Elizabeth. The title is a reflection of her new status as the monarch's consort."
Prior to The Palace's confirmation of the King's title, it was speculated that he may choose to go by another moniker, rather than King Charles.
Some thought he may not wish to go by the name, given the fate of the fate of the previous two King Charles'. And experts suggested he might adopt George, one of his middle names, in tribute to his beloved grandfather, King George VI. However, this was not to be the case.
King Charles III has already received praise for his "impressive" response to this week's events, despite grieving the loss of his mother.
Well-wishers who welcomed him as he arrived at Buckingham Palace today commended the King for his composure under such difficult circumstances.
One member of the public said: "It was impressive, touching, a good move to come out to the crowds.
"I think that’s where the royal family needs to communicate with the people now.
"I’m sure he wants to be on his own to think about his mother but he’s doing his duty."
