If you meant the Commonwealth of Nations, Charles was confirmed as the successor in CHOGM 2018. If you meant Commonwealth Realms, their close economic and military ties to Britain are not going to change anyways.
I get that this is an emotional loss to Britain. But let's not pretend there's going to be a material difference.
