===United Kingdom===

 

 

Upon the Crown's demise, in the [[United Kingdom]], a meeting of the [[Accession Council]] is held at [[St James's Palace]] in [[London]] in order to give directions for the proclamation of the new monarch. All members of the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]], the [[Lord Mayor of London]] and the [[Court of Aldermen]], and the [[High commissioner (Commonwealth)|High Commissioners]] of the Commonwealth realms are invited to the Council. This meeting is to arrange for the formal proclamation of the new monarch. Neither the identity nor the accession to the throne of the next monarch depends on the Council, as the new monarch has already automatically succeeded by the demise of the Crown. The proclamation takes place in London at [[St James's Palace]], [[Charing Cross]], within the City Boundary at [[Temple Bar, London|Temple Bar]], and the [[Royal Exchange, London|Royal Exchange]]. The new monarch is also proclaimed at [[Edinburgh]], [[Belfast]] and [[Cardiff]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ciara.Berry |date=2016-01-15 |title=Accession |url=https://www.royal.uk/accession |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=The Royal Family |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Accession Council |url=https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/privy-council/the-accession-council/ |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=Privy Council |language=en-GB}}</ref>
