Queen Elizabeth names Charles as next chief of Commonwealth

Monitoring Desk

LONDON: Head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth II, formally opened the Commonwealth summit on Thursday and it may be the last time that she is heading the commonwealth summit as she put forward her son name for the head of the commonwealth summit.

Queen Elizabeth welcomed the 53 Commonwealth nation’s leaders at the Buckingham Palace for two days of talks that will include discussions on trade and countering cybercrime.

Queen Elizabeth in her speech talked about her own journey as head of the Commonwealth, which started under her father King George VI with the London Declaration of 1949.

On the closing day on Friday, leaders are expected to discuss who should follow Queen Elizabeth in the role.

Prince Charles, who is also the heir to the thrones of 16 Commonwealth nations, is expected to get the nod.

During the two days of talks, the group is hoping to agree an ocean governance charter, an agenda for trade and investment, and a declaration on tackling cyber crime.
