The head of the commonwealth is always the reigning king/queen of Britain. The role of the Head of the Commonwealth is recognized by its members as the "symbol of their free association" and is akin to that of a ceremonial president, but for life: unlike a Chairman or secretary general of any other international organization, the Head of the Commonwealth is a symbol of the association, without executive power.

Who will be the next head of Commonwealth?
The next head of the Commonwealth will be whoever inherits the throne of the United Kingdom and the thrones of the other Commonwealth realms like Canada, Australia and New Zealand. If nature takes its course this will be Charles who will become King of all the Commonwealth realms on the death or abdication of his mother, the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. However, should Elizabeth outlive Charles, his son William will become Head of the Commonwealth. In short, whoever is next in line for the throne of the Commonwealth realms will become Head of the Commonwealth. It is important to realise that this protocol for choosing the Head of the Commonwealth applies only to the position of Head of the Commonwealth, and this position is symbolic of the association of the Commonwealth countries to each other. The position has no bearing on the government of those countries that are not Commonwealth Realms (i.e. the republics of the Commonwealth). The Queen is not Queen of India, for example, even though the Indians accept her as Head of the Commonwealth.
