SURPRISING FACT​

Charles’ regnal title comes with some royal baggage. King Charles I was executed for treason in 1649 amid the English Civil War, and his son Charles II dealt with the both the Great Plague of London and Great Fire of London during his time on the throne. A prolific dog breeder, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were reportedly named after him. Charles Edward Stuart, a Jacobite pretender to the throne, was called King Charles III by his supporters in the 18th century, though he failed to take power. British media reported in 2005 that Charles had considered choosing a different name for his regnal title, which Clarence House denied.

I think there is a validity to waiting to allow it to be a happy occasion. Although, our news is already talking about moving on from the Commonwealth and the future viability of the monarchy so I suspect they might not wait that long to crown Charles…
