The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles will succeed the Queen as head of the Commonwealth.
The Queen says it was her "sincere wish" that Prince Charles would follow her in the role.
Leaders of the Commonwealth have been discussing the issue at a meeting behind closed doors at Windsor Castle.
The head role is non‑hereditary so is not automatically passed on when the Queen dies, with suggestions it might have rotated among the 53 leaders.
