Earlier this week it was announced the Queen bestowed the role of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador on Charles' son Prince Harry, who along with the British Prime Minister delivered a speech at the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.
The Commonwealth was formed as Britain's former colonies gained their independence, and its first head was the queen's father, King George VI.
"It is my honest wish that the Commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity for future generations - and will decide that one day the Prince of Wales will carry on the important work started by my father in 1949", Queen Elizabeth said.
After the Queen made her wishes known, there would have been little prospect of the 53 Commonwealth leaders and foreign ministers, who met at Buckingham Palace on Thursday, not endorsing the plan.
Leaders of the Commonwealth have been discussing the issue at a meeting behind closed doors at Windsor Castle.
'It is my honest wish that the Commonwealth will continue to offer stability and continuity for future generations - and will decide that one day the Prince of Wales will carry on the important work started by my father in 1949, ' she said last night.
British Prime Minister Theresa May stressed the good the Commonwealth can do, in spite of the challenges over the years.
"The government supports the Prince of Wales as the next head of the Commonwealth".
