If Prince Charles succeeds his mother as monarch and uses his first given name as his regnal name, he would become known as Charles III. However, Prince Charles has considered rejecting that style when he accedes to the throne, because of its associations with Britain's bloody past. The move away from Charles stems from its associations with Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649 following the English Civil War, at the start of Oliver Cromwell's short-lived republic. The executed monarch's son, Charles II, spent 18 years in exile and returned to England in 1660 but was nicknamed "The Merry Monarch" because of his string of mistresses. Charles III is partially associated with the Catholic Jacobite pretender, Charles Edward Stuart (called Bonnie Prince Charlie), an enduring Scottish romantic figure, who claimed the throne as that style in the 18th century. The move would not be a first - three of the past six British monarchs chose a regnal name different from their first given name. The most discussed alternative style has been "George VII", in honour of Charles's grandfather.

According to Clarence House, Camilla will be styled and titled as HRH The Princess Consort when her husband accedes the throne although it's automatic that she could bear the style and title HM The Queen, it's just that she is very sensitive to the supporters of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Prince Charles will become George VII and not Charles III.

King Charles III, but it is the sovereign's right to choose another name to be King. Charles' grandfather's name was Albert but he chose to be called King George VI when he ascended the throne.

He could change his name to match a former King's if he chooses or he can become King Charles VII, just like we assume Prince William would want to become King WilliamV.

He hasn't stated what he'd pick as his regnal name - it would be a bit uncouth to do so before one actually ascends to the throne. Charles, however, has a bit of a bad connotation, what with Charles I getting beheaded and all.
Most likely he'd pick George, one of his middle names, which would also hearken to his grandfather and his great-grandfather, George VI and George V.

It is general knowledge, even here in America that he does not intend to take Charles III as his name, and only one answer gave what I believe will be his royal title. The women here speak so authoritatively, do they know something the rest of the world doesn't know? How about some links, girls?

King Charles III or IV. I know that there have already been a I and a II, not sure about a III.
