Queen Elizabeth II: Moment of reflection and change for Royal-linked Dartmouth College

Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth has played a huge role in both Queen Elizabeth and King Charles III's life.

It was at the college, in 1939, that the Queen and Prince Philip met properly for the first time.

It is also where King Charles began his Royal Navy career in 1971.

For all those Royal Navy personnel serving in Dartmouth, the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the proclamation of King Charles III as the new Commander-in-Chief is a moment of both reflection and change.
