I believe that the royal protocol requires a year of mourning for the passed monarch before the celebration of coronation may take place.
I remember a lot of talk about Charles being bypassed in favor of William. Since it seems the crown is automatically going to Charles, why was there so much talk about William? Did that always include Charles abdicating?
In a bit of light news, I saw a tweet that said it would be hard to say King Charles without adding Spaniel!
One thing I’ve learned since reading TpF, gracious thanks to @papertiger. Only a King or Queen can abdicate. The rest need to renounce the position. So, all Hazzi needs to do is sign the papers saying “I renounce my position as blah blah”. Then he is out and the rest of the world can move. The King has leverage to make this happen. Personally, I am hoping he flexes these muscles.
The talk about moving William up was just that ‘talk’. Charles will not abdicate. To move William up, Charles would have needed to renounce his position while QE was alive. He would never have done that. He well understood the pain the Duke of Windsor caused when he abdicated. Charles would never that to his Queen, his country or himself. He is devoted to service, duty and his country. He may, though, have a short reign, but he won’t abdicate. My opinion only.
My favorite line of his: Your Majesty, Mummy 
He seems pretty healthy for his age, so I suspect he will be king for at least 20 years or so.
Oh my goodness. In Canada, as a kid, we used to sing God Save the Queen before school started and this will be so odd for a bit. I'm glad you reminded me!
I loved what she was wearing. Big hat, big hair... she does it so well.
Wishful thinking. People didn't like Charles and they just hoped he'd pass the crown along to Will.
I think Charles will be a good King. I hope he is for many years.
I feel like it was gossip spread by the public because Prince William was more well received than his father was. Prince Charles took a big hit in the publics eye with his divorce with Diana and then marrying a divorce/mistress. I think that he’s worked hard in the past 10 years on changing the publics perception of him. He absolutely wouldn’t hand the job over to his son. He complained about how his mom wasn’t very present growing up because she was so busy working. Prince William has 3 little kids he would never want them to go though what he did. He will be just like his mother and work until the end allowing William to be a dad as long as he can. I’m sure Prince Williams work load is already increasing as he is now the next in line.
Privy Council will be televised tomorrow - a first!
The Accession Council - Privy Council
An Accession Council is usually convened within 24 hours of the death of a Sovereign and is customarily held at St James’s Palace to make formal Proclamation of the death of the Monarch and the accession of the successor to the throne. The Accession Council should be held before Parliament...

Now that Charles is King, he es no longer Prince of Wales, I think.
Will William nun become Prince of Wales?
And will there be an investiture celebration?
Who knows about this?
William is already Duke of Cornwall now, as I have read.

I can answer my own question now.
William does not become Prince of Wales automatically.
It is King Charles III who must give him this title.
