As the late Queen Elizabeth's son and his wife take their roles as King and Queen, they will also use new social media accounts.

The new King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort will now use the official Royal Family social media accounts.

The Clarence House account, which previously followed Charles and Camilla's royal work, remains active on both Twitter and Instagram. However, the bios now read, "This account is no longer being updated. Please follow @theroyalfamily for updates on His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty The Queen Consort."
