The eldest son of the reigning monarch becomes king when the monarch dies. If the reigning monarch has no sons, then his eldest daughter becomes queen.

In practice, as Prince William's wife has just given birth to a boy, it will be at least 80 to 100 years before there is another female monarch.

When the previous reigning monarch dies, at that instant, the next in line becomes the new monarch - this is the accession.

At the the point of coronation the monarch becomes the new reigning monarch.
