The British Monarchy is one of the most famous institutions in the entire world, with the names of the royal members known by people from all parts of the globe. The Queen, who is now aged 94 has been the longest-serving monarch in the history of the British monarchy.

Queen Elizabeth II began her reign as the head of the British monarchy at a young age of 21. Her father, the late King George VI died suddenly, leaving the young princess to become a Queen overnight.  

Although Queen Elizabeth II was able to prepare a decade or so before being crowned, she was highly criticized for being a woman. As a Queen, she also needed to birth an heir.

Prince Charles, the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II is the heir apparent to the British throne. Now at the age of 72, the Prince is the longest heir apparent in the history of the monarchy.

As the Queen grows older and older, talks of Charles preparing to take the throne has been up in the air. The palace has also been preparing for the worst and rumors of Charles ascending to the throne even before the Queen's death has also been considered.

In the history of the British monarchy, Kings and Queens who ascend to the throne have a choice of going by another regal name. Queen Elizabeth II chose to keep hers and she became the second Elizabeth to rule Britain.

In another instance, Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI was born as Albert but chose to go with George during his coronation.

According to royal experts, Prince Charles may choose to go with another name when he is crowned as King. Prince Charles’ birth name is Charles Phillip Arthur George, and many experts believe that he may choose to go with George as his King's name.

If the Prince chooses to go with this as his regal name, he will be known as King George VII, it may also be an ode to his late grandfather.

This also leads to the talks of what Prince Charles’ wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker-Bowles' title will be. In normal circumstances she would be given the title ‘Queen Consort’ but due to the history of their marriage and Charles’ marriage to the late Princess Diana, Camilla upon Charles’ ascension will have the title of ‘Princess Consort’.

The Clarence House has released a statement regarding this issue, and according to them, they have not made a decision as of this time.

Author and Journalist Penny Junor told Town and Country that it is possible that Charles will keep his name as his regal name and be known as ‘King Charles III’.
