The Duke of Sussex held the title until February 2021 after he and his spouse Meghan stepped down as senior royals.
King Charles will grow to be the subsequent Captain General of the Royal Marines after Prince Harry was stripped of the title when he stepped down as a senior royal.
Buckingham Palace announced the King's takeover of the honorary navy position from his son the day after important points of the Duke of Sussex's tell-all autobiography were released.
There had been hypothesis about which member of the Royal Family would be given the role, with the Princess Royal tipped for the position.
The duke used to be stripped of his army titles, which also covered Commodore-in-Chief of Ships and Diving, and Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Honington, in February 2021 after he and the Duchess of Sussex introduced their plans to cease being working royals the preceding year.

In a announcement to mark the 358th anniversary of the Corps of Royal Marines, the King said he was "exceptionally proud" to become its ceremonial head.
"It is the best feasible pleasure to anticipate the function of your Captain General," he said.
"I am relatively proud to comply with in the footsteps of so many participants of my household over the final three-and-a-half centuries, all of whom held the position with a deep experience of admiration.
"The Royal Marines have a individual and unparalleled history, both on land and at sea. I draw significant concept from your courage, determination, strength of mind and a terrific ability to endure in the most excessive environments.
"I sense significantly honoured to come to be section of the Corps Family and very much seem ahead to meeting many of you in the close to future. In the meantime, this comes with my heartfelt and distinct wishes for a very completely happy 358th birthday. Per Mare, Per Terram."
Day after Harry memoir announced
On Thursday, it was printed Prince Harry's memoir SPARE will be launched on 10 January.
The title appears to be a reference to the phrase "heir and a spare" - suggesting his mindset toward his location in the Royal Family.
Billed as "his story at last", the book also delves into Prince Harry's "personal experience from trauma to healing".
"With its raw, unflinching honesty, SPARE is a landmark e-book full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal strength of love over grief," a description of the book reads.
Buckingham Palace has not commented on the announcement.
