The UK has a new monarch after Queen Elizabeth II died on 8 September, aged 96.

From now on, the Queen's eldest son will be known as King Charles III. His wife Camilla becomes the Queen Consort, which is a term used for the spouse of the king.

Queen Elizabeth II's reign was longer than any other British monarch, lasting 70 years.

It means not much is known about what sort of King Charles will be, and what life will be like with him as the head of state.

However, we do know about some big moments of his life that have taken place, which may give some insight into how things could be in the future.

King Charles was born on 14 November 1948 at Buckingham Palace. He was the first child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh went on to have three other children after Charles. Princess Anne was born in 1950, Prince Andrew was born in 1960, and Prince Edward was born in 1964.

The King's childhood was different to most people in the UK. From the moment he was born, he was one of the most famous people in the world, and it was expected that one day, he would be King.

Charles' attended Cheam School, a boarding school in Berkshire, as a child. It was the same school his father had gone to when he was a young boy.

He went on to study at Gordonstoun School in Elgin, Eastern Scotland, and then studied archaeology and anthropology before later switching over to history at Cambridge University. He also spent a term at Aberystwyth University.

Charles became Prince of Wales at a ceremony in Caernarfon Castle in 1969. Prince of Wales is the title given to the next in line to the throne.

1981 saw a big moment in his life. He married Lady Diana Spencer at St Paul's Cathedral. She then became the Princess of Wales.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana went on to have two children - Prince William, who was born in 1982, and Prince Harry, who was born in 1984.

Charles wanted his two boys to have as normal a childhood as possible, something he felt he didn't really have himself.

But then came a difficult period in his life. Prince Charles and his wife Princess Diana struggled with marital issues, and they decided to get divorced in 1996.

However, that wasn't the only hardship to come. A tragedy that shocked the world followed, when Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997 at the age of just 36.

Despite the difficult moments in his life, there have also been positive ones too.

Charles found happiness in his second marriage in 2005 to Camilla, who is now Queen Consort.

Charles was also proud to see his two boys grow up, and have families of their own.

Prince William married Catherine in 2011 and they have three children, while Harry married Meghan in 2018 and went on to have two children.

However, recently, Charles has had a strained relationship with Harry, who is no longer an active member of the Royal Family.

The King has always been passionate about issues such as the environment and climate change.

Charles first spoke publicly about his concerns over pollution and plastics and their impact on the natural world in 1970 and was outspoken on these topics at a time when concerns over environmental issues were not widely accepted and were often ridiculed.

"Global warming, climate change and the devastating loss of biodiversity are the greatest threats humanity has ever faced," Charles said at the time. In an interview in February last year, Charles spoke of protecting the natural world for future generations. "We know day by day, we are rapidly destroying the fabric of the natural world for ourselves, for our children and grandchildren," he said.
