It's very simple.
His Royal Highness Charles, the Prince of Wales, became King Charles III the moment Queen Elizabeth II died. Everyone else in the family moves up one rung.
There are many formalities, including a coronation, yet to be arranged, but that's the gist.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Which in this case just happens to result in everyone moving up one rung. The line of succession is now:
Prince William (now Prince of Wales)
Prince William's children
Prince Harry
Prince Harry's children
...
There is no need to make things more complicated than they are.

It's really simple:Mort - Terry Pratchett The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

And in order to reduce the chance of a republicon (AKA a commoner) intercepting the kingon/queon, the heir must be present at the reigning monarch's death bed.

Love the "Discworld" reference.
Also, I heard Donald Trump was threatening to overturn the Monarchy, if they did not crown him, King.

The British must now adjust to the fact that their monarch used to be able move as many squares as she wanted but now is limited to moving one square at a time.

No I think you are good at geography

Originally I just tried best guess. But when pressed to find it on a map, I learned that was the first choice to start with finding the pattern in world map. Not so easy, but cool when you find it.
