"Following a further assessment this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended that she remains under medical supervision.

Qui succède à Elizabeth II ?
Au Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d’Irlande du Nord – et dans les quatorze autres monarchies du Commonwealth –, la règle pour la succession est celle de la « primogéniture », c’est-à-dire que l’enfant le plus âgé du ou de la monarque accède au trône. En l’occurrence, c’est donc le prince Charles, 73 ans, fils aîné d’Elizabeth II, qui devient immédiatement roi à la suite de la mort de sa mère, quand bien même la cérémonie protocolaire de couronnement aura lieu plus tard.
