Historian Sir Anthony Seldon says that the reign of King Charles will be shorter than his mother's but could be even more important, particularly for the long term future of the monarchy.
We have a change of monarch, and this last monarch has seen the country through 70 years of massive change, from a great power to a second-rate power, with a great empire, to losing that empire, largely," Sir Anthony added.
"She's seen the country through that period of stability without revolution or upset. And she's been a great rallying figure. But the country hasn't lost bits of it. It has the same territorial integrity when she went into it as it had at the end. And she is the still the point at the centre of the constitution.
"But it is the Crown that is that, rather than the person. She is dead and now the new person takes over and then all eyes will be on him.The Queen worked with 15 prime ministers "You can say we're a democracy and therefore… the monarch doesn't matter. The monarch does matter. We are both a democracy and a monarchy at the same time.
