Brand Spur Nigeria reports that King Charles, the oldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, is the heir apparent to the British throne.

Charles succeeded as England’s King immediately, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch of the UK. Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96 at Balmoral castle, Scotland on Thursday, the Royal Family announced.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon… The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

“The death of my beloved mother, The Queen is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” a statement from the King at the time of the death of Queen Elizabeth II read.

According to the BBC, Charles, the eldest son of the Queen and the former Prince of Wales will lead the country in mourning as the new King and head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.

BBC reported that one of his first acts would be to decide whether he would be called King Charles III or by any other name. Charles’ wife will be called Queen Consort, a title used for the wife of the monarch.

Other Members To Undergo A Change Of Titles

The Queen’s death means that other members of Britain’s Royal family will also undergo change of titles. Prince William will inherit Charles’ title and become Duke of Cornwall, while his wife Catherine will become the Dutches of Cornwall.

Over the next 24 hours following the Queen’s death, Charles will be officially declared the King of England. The ceremony, according to the BBC, will take place at St James’ Palace in London in front of the Accession Council, a ceremonial body that consists of senior MPs, the Lord Mayor of London, commonwealth high commissioners, and civil servants.

In 1952, when the last accession took place, about 200 people attended the ceremony. While Charles’ accession ceremony is likely to be attended by about 700 people, the actual number may be lesser due to the sudden death of the Queen.

Who Is King Charles?

As the oldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Prince Charles is the longstanding heir apparent to the British throne. Under public scrutiny his entire life, Charles graduated from Trinity College before embarking on a military career which culminated with him commanding the HMS Bronington.

He married Diana Spencer in the summer of 1981 to huge media fanfare, though the couple would eventually divorce in 1996 after years of gossip and scandal. Charles later wed longtime love Camilla Parker Bowles some time after Princess Diana’s death.

He is the father of Princes William and Harry and is also a grandfather. Among his many philanthropic and environmental endeavors are the Prince’s Trust and the Prince’s Rainforest Project.

King Charles III Biography: Early Life, Siblings, and Education

King Charles was born Charles Philip Arthur George on November 14, 1948, in London, England. The son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Charles ascended the royal hierarchy at an early age. His mother became queen when he was only three after the death of his grandfather King George VI in 1952.

As Elizabeth’s oldest child, Charles became the heir apparent to the British throne and received the title of Duke of Cornwall. Charles was also destined to become Great Britain’s oldest heir apparent, with his mother remaining queen for more than six and a half decades. His younger siblings are Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

King Charles III Military Service

After six months of aviation training with the Royal Air Force, Charles joined the Royal Navy in 1971, going on to serve on the HMS Norfolk and receiving a promotion in 1973 to acting lieutenant.

During the mid-1970s, Charles joined the Royal Naval Air Station to receive helicopter training, and later served as a helicopter pilot for the 845 Naval Air Squadron, based on the HMS Hermes. His time with the Hermes included a tour of Caribbean and Canadian waters before he took up additional course work at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich.

In 1976, Charles ended his military service as commander of the HMS Bronington, the same year that he established the Prince’s Trust, a charitable organization dedicated to helping improve the lives of disadvantaged youth.

Towards the close of the decade, Charles further expanded his military skill set with parachute training, having already taken the reins at times as the pilot for the Queen’s Flight, the monarchy’s official aircraft. The prince was eventually promoted to Group Captain for the Royal Air Force in 1995, and in the new millennium was again promoted to the rank of Air Chief Marshal.

Kings Charles’ Marriage To Diana

As a public figure, Charles came off to many as intelligent, aloof, and a bit awkward. He was used to having every move he made scrutinized by the press, but even he could not have imagined what a sensation his relationship with Lady Diana Spencer would cause. The two had known each other when they were young but were reintroduced in the late 1970s.

Despite a 13-year age difference as well as divergent interests, the couple became engaged in February 1981. The public took a strong liking to his shy, former kindergarten teacher fiancée, finding her more accessible than the reserved prince.

They were married on July 29, 1981, in a lavish ceremony that was broadcast around the world and watched by millions of people.

Divorce and Diana’s Death

Charles and Diana had two children together. Their first son, Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, was born on June 21, 1982, and their second son, Prince Henry “Harry” Charles Albert David, was born on September 15, 1984. Unfortunately, their common love for their children was not enough to hold what was billed as a fairy tale marriage together. The union became strained over the years with royal responsibilities, personal conflicts, media pressures and infidelities. Charles reportedly reignited a relationship with his former flame, Camilla Parker Bowles, while married to Diana. The couple officially separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996.

Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. Despite their differences, Charles traveled with her sisters to France to accompany her body back to England. During her funeral procession, he walked with their sons — William, 15, and Harry, 12 — and Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer. Charles took his role as father to his grieving sons seriously, asking the media for privacy for his family.

Marriage to Camilla and Philanthropy
After years of quietly maintaining their relationship, Charles married Parker Bowles on April 9, 2005. She then became the Duchess of Cornwall and now often accompanies her husband on many of his official visits. Besides his royal duties, Charles has become a leading philanthropist. In addition to the Prince’s Trust, he has backed a huge array of charitable organizations, supporting efforts to improve educational services, fund arts initiatives, support sustainable business endeavors, provide employment opportunities to older citizens and help the environment.

Grandchildren

In 2013, Charles took on a new role: He became a grandfather with the arrival of George Alexander Louis — known as “His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge,” the son of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton — on July 22. Soon after his grandson’s birth, Charles released a statement: “Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine, and we are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy.”

Charles soon had a granddaughter as well, Princess Charlotte (with a name honoring both her grandfather and maternal aunt), born on May 2, 2015. On April 23, 2018, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge welcomed Charles’ second grandson, Prince Louis. The following year, on May 6, 2019, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, gave Charles another grandson with the birth of their son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Commonwealth Leadership

During an April 2018 summit of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth nominated Prince Charles to succeed her as head of the 53-nation association of Britain and its former colonies. “It is my sincere wish that the Commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity for future generations and will decide that one day the Prince of Wales should carry on the important work started by my father in 1949,” she said.

Shortly afterward, Commonwealth leaders announced that they were adhering to the Queen’s wish. “We recognize the role of the Queen in championing the Commonwealth and its peoples. The next head of the Commonwealth shall be his Royal Highness Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales,” they said in a statement.

Prince Charles Succeeds Queen Elizabeth As King Of England

Prince Charles, the eldest son, and heir to late Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II has become king upon her death.

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch in British history and an icon instantly recognizable to billions of people around the world died at age 96 on Thursday.

The eldest of her four children, Charles, Prince of Wales, who at 73 is the oldest heir apparent in British history, becomes king immediately.

The queen’s death came after the palace announced on Thursday that doctors were “concerned” for her health and recommended she stayed under medical supervision.

All her children — Charles, Princess Anne, 72, Prince Andrew, 62, and Prince Edward, 58, flocked to her Scottish Highland retreat, Balmoral.

They were joined by Charles’s sons, Prince William, and his estranged brother Prince Harry.

Two days earlier the queen appointed Liz Truss as the 15th prime minister of her reign and was seen smiling in photographs but looking frail and using a walking stick.

One photograph of the meeting sparked alarm, showing a deep purple bruise on the monarch’s right hand.

Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne aged just 25 in 1952 in the aftermath of World War II, joining a world stage dominated by political figures from China’s Mao Zedong to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and US president Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Her 70-year reign straddled two centuries of seismic social, political and technological upheaval.

The last vestiges of Britain’s vast empire crumbled. At home, Brexit shook the foundations of her kingdom, and her family endured a series of scandals.

But throughout, she remained consistently popular and was queen and head of state not just of the United Kingdom but 14 former British colonies, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

She was also head of the 56-nation Commonwealth, which takes in a quarter of humanity, and supreme governor of the Church of England, the mother church of the worldwide Anglican communion.

But questions will be asked about whether the golden age of the British monarchy has now passed, how an ancient institution can remain viable in the modern era and whether Charles will command the same respect or reign in his mother’s shadow.

Queen Elizabeth Health Status: Royal Family Gather At Balmoral Amid Concern For Monarch

Queen Elizabeth II’s closest family rushed to Scotland on Thursday, after doctors placed the 96-year-old monarch under medical supervision, prompting concern from British political and religious leaders.

Britain’s longest-serving monarch has been dogged by health problems since last October that has left her struggling to walk and stand.

Her children – heir to the throne Prince Charles, 73, Princess Anne, 72, Prince Andrew, 62, and Prince Edward, 58, were either already at or quickly headed to Balmoral after the announcement.

They were joined by Charles’s elder son Prince William plus his younger son Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, who have been on a rare visit to Britain after abandoning royal life to move to the United States.

The queen — an instantly recognizable figure to billions of people across the world — is in her Platinum Jubilee year, marking 70 years since she succeeded her father king George VI in 1952.

Moments before Thursday’s announcement, notes were passed in the House of Commons to Prime Minister Liz Truss, her ministers and opposition leaders, prompting them to leave the chamber.

“The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime,” the new premier tweeted, just two days after the queen appointed her at Balmoral to succeed Boris Johnson.

“My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” Truss added, echoed by leaders in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

One photograph of the queen greeting Truss at Balmoral on Tuesday had already sparked alarm, showing a deep purple bruise on the monarch’s right hand.

– Rare bulletin –

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the highest-ranking cleric in the Church of England headed by the queen, said she was in his prayers.

“May God’s presence strengthen and comfort Her Majesty, her family, and those who are caring for her at Balmoral,” he tweeted in comments echoed by other faith leaders.

On Wednesday, a day after Truss’s appointment as the 15th prime minister of her reign, the queen pulled out of a planned meeting with her council of political advisers, after being told to rest.

“Following further evaluation this morning, the queen’s doctors are concerned for her majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

“The queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral,” the palace added.

The palace statement about the queen’s health is highly unusual.

“The palace does not issue bulletins on the queen’s health unless it’s significant,” royal commentator and author Robert Hardman told the BBC.

Global Fintech Market Resilient In H1’22 – $107.8 Billion In Investment

Global Fintech Market Resilient In H1’22 – $107.8 Billion In Investment

According to the Pulse of Fintech H1’ 2022 – a bi-annual report published by KPMG highlighting global fintech investment trends – Global fintech investments in H1 2022 recorded $107.8B with 2,980 deals.

Investors in all key jurisdictions continued to flock to the payments space in H1’22, investing $43.6 billion in payments-focused companies. Given the increasing macroeconomic challenges, investment in the payments space could taper off a bit heading into H2’22, particularly with respect to early-stage deals. M&A activity is expected to remain strong as a result of increasing consolidation among payments firms and as the number and size of add-in, transactions rise.

While the crypto space experienced significant challenges during the first half of 2022, crypto-focused companies attracted $14.2 billion during H1’22. Going forward, we could see B2B solutions aimed at the improvement of infrastructure or the optimization of operational activities like AR/AP and a continued focus on embedded solutions, including payments, finance, and insurance.

H1’ 2022 Key Global Highlights

  • Global investment in fintech falls to $107.8 billion despite robust VC funding
  • While VC investment globally declined from $66.5 billion in H2’21 to $52.6 billion in H1’22, compared to all periods outside of 2021, the amount was incredibly robust. The Americas accounted for the largest amount of VC funding ($27.2 billion), while EMEA set a new record high for a six-month period ($16.6 billion)
  • In 2021, investment in fintech was quite extraordinary as investors flocked to make investments in the sector. While investment has dropped back to levels seen in previous years, the space is expected to remain a strong focus for investors in H2’22 and into 2023.
  • Investment in the payments space remained very strong in H1’22, accounting for $43.6 billion in investment compared to the $60.3 billion seen during all of 2021
  • Investment in the insurtech sector dropped considerably, with $3.8 billion of investment globally during H1’22 — well off the pace to match the $14.8 billion in investment seen during 2021
  • Compared to a number of other areas of fintech, global investment in regtech showed strong resilience in H1’22. Globally, regtech companies attracted $5.6 billion in investment across 157 deals — following a similar trajectory to the level of investment seen in 2021
  • After a very strong 2021, wealthtech investment softened considerably in H1’22, mirroring the decline in investment more broadly around the world
  • After a record-shattering 2021, global investment in crypto and blockchain fell to $14.2 billion during H1’22
  • The turbulence in the public markets globally had a major impact on the valuations of many public tech companies in H1’22, including fintechs. This, combined with other challenging market factors, brought IPO activity almost to a halt — a trend expected to continue through H2’22.
  • B2B solutions will become more attractive to investors: As the world teeters on the edge of a recession, fintech investors will likely enhance their focus on B2B companies working to help companies become more efficient or enable them to expand their value propositions

ASPAC and India Highlights

  • Fintech investment in the Asia-Pacific region hit an annual record high of $41.8 billion with 607 deals, with 6 months still left in 2022
  • The region saw a diversity of jurisdictions attract good-sized deals during H1’22
  • In the Asia-Pacific region, a number of fintech subsectors that attracted substantial interest and hype over the past 12 to 24 months cooled off considerably during H1’22, including retail payments, insurtech, and B2C solutions. Crypto, NFTs and blockchain also came off the investment burner as well.
  • Regulators are continuing to focus on making industry changes more so in a country like India to support open banking and decentralized finance in an orderly and safe way.
  • While investment in areas that saw significant interest during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic have lost some attractiveness, areas that align with rapidly evolving global issues — including rising inflation, increasing interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty, and supply chain woes — have continued to see investment in India and the other Asia Pacific countries

Sanjay Doshi, Partner and Head, Financial Services Advisory, KPMG in India said, “The Fintech space has witnessed a correction in valuation and investment flow globally as well as in India.  Focus on building scale, has now been supplemented by a focus on cash flow and profitability.  Recent regulatory changes have had an impact on the operating and revenue model for fintech players. The Reserve Bank of India’s recent guidelines on credit card licensing, and digital lending could force many fintech companies, especially loan service providers and non-regulated loan originators to revisit their business and operating models. This segment should see an increase in deal flow activity driven by investment flows in wealth tech, insure tech and M&A of Fintech NBFC’s.”

“2021 was a banner year for the fintech market globally, which makes the first half of 2022 seem slow by comparison,” said Anton Ruddenklau, Global Head of Financial Services Innovation and Fintech, KPMG International. “But in reality, many sectors within the fintech market have shown strength and resilience. While the fintech market will likely be quite challenged in H2’22 due to global uncertainty and broader economic concerns, fintechs will likely continue to attract significant attention and investment – if at lower levels than last year.” “With valuations coming under pressure, fintech investors are going to enhance their focus on cash flow, revenue growth, and profitability – which could make it more difficult for some fintechs to raise funds,” said Anton. “M&A activity, however, could see an uptick as struggling fintechs look to sell rather than holding a down-round, corporate and PE investors move to take advantage of better pricing, and well-capitalized fintechs look to take out the competition,” he added.

Uncertain future ahead

H1’22 saw numerous challenges affect the broader investment market, including geopolitical uncertainty, turbulence in the public markets, and rising inflation and interest rates. With no end in sight to many of these challenges, the fintech market could see activity slowing considerably – particularly compared to the major record highs seen in 2021. While fintech investment is expected to remain somewhat resilient – particularly in areas like B2B payments, cybersecurity automation, and data-driven analytics – deals could take longer to complete as investors become more critical of opportunities.

How The Money Transfer Market Is Like To Elvove

How The Money Transfer Market Is Like To Elvove

Everybody relies on money for their daily lives. Currency is the system that we use for trading our time, knowledge, expertise, goods, services and more, and most people don’t question it. It can be easy to forget just how much money used in society has actually evolved over time.

Online banking, for example, which is used by the majority of people who have a bank account today, only started getting popular in the late 1990s. And there are sure to be lots of ways that money and the money transfer market will evolve in the future. Here are some predictions:

More Digital Banking

Digital banking, where banking services are mainly carried out online to improve efficiency, provide better customer service, and reduce risk, is already the norm for lots of people. The last few years have seen a rise in online-only banks that customers sign up to and operate completely online, without any branches to go into. In-person banking is gradually fading away, and more and more payments, applications, and money transfers are being made through the internet including more options to remit money online to other countries — something that would have been expensive, time-consuming, and would have almost always required an in-person visit in the past.

Cashless Society

More and more countries around the world are moving in the direction of digital payments and transfers rather than cash. While living in a world that does not have any physical, paper money might seem quite futuristic, it’s actually not as far off as it might seem. These days, the convenience of payment systems like Apple Pay and Google Pay, contactless cards and instant transfers using apps like Venmo have made it easier than ever for people to get by with no real need to withdraw and pay with cash.

Mainstream Cryptocurrencies

The future of money transfers is likely to move further and further towards cryptocurrency, with many people using crypto to send payments to people in their lives, buy goods and services and more. While crypto might not be something that everybody understands quite as well as they do cash, cryptocurrencies are becoming more and more popular, and have been a hot topic around the world for around two decades now.

Easier International Transfers

Already, sending money abroad has become much easier compared to how it was in the past thanks to third-party apps that people can use to instantly send money to anybody else with an account, regardless of where they are located. Since these transfers are typically made online, they don’t take as long as often don’t cost as much compared to more traditional options such as international bank transfers and wire transfers. This has and will continue to make it easier for people to pay freelancers abroad, help out family and friends, and more.

Over time, money and the way that we use it to make payments is constantly evolving. These are just some of the ways that the money transfer is likely to evolve further in the future.

Traditional Banks Are Losing To Fintech’s In Customer Services, Will They Lose In Customer Experience Too?

Traditional Banks Are Losing To Fintech’s In Customer Services, Will They Lose In Customer Experience Too?

A new global report released today by Braze, a comprehensive customer engagement platform, reveals a huge gulf between how banks are communicating with customers and what they actually want.

Nearly two-thirds (62%) of UK consumers want to receive communications from financial services companies less than once a month. However, almost half (49%) of banks are sending communications at least a few times a week. This disparity means that over half (52%) of UK consumers are dissatisfied with the way financial services companies communicate with them, more than any other Western nation in a new report  “Banking on the Customer Journey: 2022 Financial Services Insights”.

Yet financial services leaders are overly confident about the customer experience they are providing. When marketers at financial services brands were surveyed, the vast majority (89%) believe customers are extremely or very satisfied with their messaging.

Financial services brands are also not aligned on what’s most important to customers. Global customers rate trustworthiness as the most important factor in a bank (50%) – rising to 54% of UK customers – with low fees on products (17%) coming in a far second globally. However only 15% of marketing execs rank trustworthiness as the top factor customers feel is most important in a bank, showing companies are missing the mark when it comes to meeting customer expectations.

Advice for Firms: Keep it Simple, Keep it Short 

The study also uncovered the kinds of communications UK customers want from their banks. Over half (56%) ranked account updates (low balance, deposit confirmations, etc.) as the most preferred, with only 14% of consumers selecting promotional offers, 13% selecting information on new products and features, 9% on educational content, and a paltry 7% wanted to hear about corporate updates. However, UK consumers are much more interested in promotional offers than other countries, with 48% ranking them in their top 2 most important communications.

Sending valuable and relevant messages is important to boost overall consumer satisfaction. A whopping 87% of surveyed consumers who feel they receive relevant communications say they are satisfied with their bank, compared to just 50% of those who say they receive irrelevant communications.

Personalising the customer experience with data is also key – 62% of consumers are willing to share more personal information to get more relevant information, but banks must also balance that with stringent standards around data privacy.

James Manderson, SVP Customer Success at Braze said: “With the rise of challenger banks and new fintechs bursting onto the market in recent years, customer experience has become the new battleground for financial services brands. Yet our data shows there is a huge gulf between how customers expect their bank to communicate with them and the reality.”

“With inflation rising fast, it’s never been more important for banks to build trust and maintain strong relationships with customers. One place to start is activating the first-party customer data that financial services firms already have to understand exactly what customers want and what they’re engaging with. This will help banks to provide the personalised, relevant experience customers are craving, without relying on poorer quality third party data.”
