Prince Charles: these four options that will be available to him when he is king
Prince Charles will be the next monarch to the throne of England. He has 4 options to choose his name as king since the prince has 4 given names, namely, Charles Philip Arthur George.
In the history of British royalty, Prince Charles is the oldest heir. Note that he obtained the title of crown prince since he was 3 years old. A title bestowed upon him when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, ascended the throne. On the death of the queen, Prince Charles will therefore become king and his royal titles will revert to the crown.
Currently, Prince Charles holds the title of Prince of Wales. A title given to him in 1958 when he was 9 years old. Tradition has it that the title of Prince of Wales always goes to the male heir to the throne. It was in 1969 at Caernarfon Castle in Wales that Charles was officially invested with the title of Prince of Wales.
"Four options for four first names"
The Constitution Unit at University College London (UCL) says Prince Charles will not necessarily become King Charles III. "Prince Charles's first names are Charles Philip Arthur George", can be seen on the UCL website. As a first step, Prince Charles could take an example from his mother who chose to reign under her first name as Queen Elizabeth II.
However, in the past, Prince Charles had considered a different name for his reign. Note that George is a popular name in the British monarchy. The prince's grandfather was, after all, King George VI and his great-grandfather, King George V. He could also opt for the name King Philip in honor of his father, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip. Otherwise, he may well take advantage of the legendary connotation of King Arthur. It will only be during his ascension to the throne that we will be fixed on the subject.
