Quick history lesson: King Charles I is best known for being overthrown by Oliver Cromwell following the victory of Parliament over the Crown in the English Civil War in 1645. “He was also a strong believer in the divine right of kings, meaning that he was appointed by God and wasn’t answerable to Parliament,”reports. This belief did not end well for him—he was put on trial for treason, found guilty, and beheaded in 1649. Yikes.
“Although Prince Charles could use his own name and become King Charles III, it is thought that he may wish to avoid the negative connotations from the previous two Charles’,”reports. “The prince will also follow the longest-reigning monarch in British history, so may wish to avoid anything that could cast him in a negative light.”
