How King Charles' life will change - from no passport or driving licence to moving home
Georgia Trevitt - Yesterday 7:51 a.m.
Charles is now officially King Charles III following the death of his mother Elizabeth II.
Charles, 73, was automatically given the title, but has since been proclaimed as monarch in a moving ceremony witnessed by the public for the first time in British history. The Accession Council in the state apartments of London's St James’s Palace confirmed his role on Saturday morning.
And while Charles, who has already undertaken a number of duties in the days since his mother died including meeting cheering crowds outside Buckingham Palace and giving a national address, has been preparing for the moment for his entire life, some big changes are about to happen.

As King, Charles will have his passport removed. When travelling overseas, he will not require a British passport, as a British passport is issued in the name of His Majesty, meaning it’s unnecessary for The King to possess one.
All other members of the Royal Family have passports.
Charles will also have his driving licence removed, as like passports, they are issued in the monarch’s name.
The new King will also change royal residences, as he'll be moved from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace.
Speaking on the BBC, Royal author Robert Hardman explained: "Eventually he will have to move into Buckingham Palace which monarchs never like doing very much.
"It might be big and smart and famous, but he's very happy at Clarence House. When the Queen became Queen, she and Prince Philip really tried very hard to remain at Clarence House."
It comes after Charles was officially proclaimed as monarch in a moving ceremony, which was attended by members of the Privy Council including senior politicians past and present, with Prime Minister Liz Truss, her predecessor Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer among them.
Queen Consort Camilla and the new Prince of Wales, William, were also in attendance and both signed the declaration in the first half of the ceremony, before ceremony moved into the throne room, where the new King was welcomed.
The first part was overseen by Penny Mourdant in her role as Lord President of the Council, a post she has held for just a matter of days.
Opening proceedings, she said: “My lords, it is my sad duty to inform you that Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has passed away on Thursday the 8th of September 2022, at Balmoral Castle.
“I propose that, when certain necessary business has been transacted, a deputation consisting of Her Majesty, His Royal Highness, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of York, the Prime Minister, the clerk of the Council, and myself, shall wait on the King and inform him the Council is assembled.”
The clerk of the council then read the historic text of the proclamation, which began: "Whereas it has pleased almighty God to call to his mercy our late Sovereign lady Queen Elizabeth II of blessed and glorious memory, by whose decease the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the Prince Charles Philip Arthur George."
The text has been passed down for centuries, which is reflected in the language of the proclamation.
