With the beginning of King Charles III's cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace made it clear that the 75-year-old British monarch still remains in authority as head of the kingdom.
But naturally, the spotlight was directed towards the order of succession to the crown, only about a year and a half since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The heir to the throne is Prince William, the eldest son of Charles and Princess Diana, who was killed in a car accident in Paris in 1997.
He holds the title of Prince of Wales and is married to Kate, Princess of Wales, who herself has been bedridden since last month.
Their children are next in line of succession, the first of whom is their eldest child Prince George, who in July celebrated his tenth birthday, then his sister, eight-year-old Princess Charlotte, and their younger brother, five-year-old Prince Louis.

Fifth in the British line of succession is Prince Harry, the youngest son of Charles.
He gave up his royal duties in recent years due to a conflict with the palace over his marriage to Meghan Markle, but remained in the line of succession.
He even talked to his father since he was diagnosed with cancer and will fly to Britain from the United States, where he lives.
His children, four-year-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, and two-year-old Lily Mountbatten-Windsor, are next in line of succession.
After them, the line of succession passes to the branch of Prince Andrew, brother of Charles and the second oldest child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.
His daughter from his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice, is next in line, and in tenth place in the British line of succession is Sienna Elizabeth, her two-year-old daughter, ahead of her aunt, Princess Eugenie.
Eugenie's children, August and Ernest Brooksbank, aged two years and eight months, are 12th and 13th in the line of succession, which later also includes Prince Edward and Princess Anne - Charles and Elizabeth's two other children - their descendants, and distant relatives More.
