The new king of England will reign as King Charles III – a moniker he once reportedly considered rejecting to avoid links to the bloody and turbulent history of his two royal namesakes.
His majesty considered being called George VII to honor his grandfather — a beloved royal figure — and to avoid Charles, a name considered “jinxed” in some royal circles, The London Times reported in 2005.
His “Charles” predecessors ruled over some of the bloodiest periods in UK history. King Charles I led the country into a civil war — and remains the only English monarch to be executed.

The second Charles launched England into a 177-year period of debauchery until Queen Victoria put an end to it.

He should just call himself, “the king formerly known as prince.”
To: nickcarraway
He may want to choose another name. From what I read today, it could be up to one year before the coronation. Proper period of mourning and then preparation. So he has plenty of time to consider options.

"So he has plenty of time to consider options."
And plenty of time to die of Covid, Covid jabs, and/or climate change.

Well there you go. It has to be the name. Couldn’t be that Charles I & II were not the best of character. Yep, it’s the name./s

I would avoid anything with a “third” in the title. Too easy, especially in his case, to be referred to as Charles the Turd.
