As the last real monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has more power, respect and influence than any of her successors. And although there will still be a British royal family, the monarchy will see significant changes once she dies.

At the time of her death, Prince Charles will automatically ascend the throne. That said, he may not be called King Charles. When a monarch ascends the throne, the new king or queen can pick a regnal name, which is either their first name or any of their middle or Christian names.
If Prince Charles wants to change his name, he could become King George, King Arthur, or King Philip, as his full name is Charles Philip Arthur George.
