Prince Charles will assume the title King Charles III upon the accession to the British throne. The decision to adopt “Charles III” was made by the prince himself. During the succession process, Prince Charles was presented with four potential names – Charles, Philip, Arthur, or George – to choose from. Tradition dictates that British monarchs have historically had their names translated from Latin, reflecting the language of diplomacy throughout the Middle Ages. The name Charles, originally German (“Carolus”), evolved to “Charles” in England, “Charlie” in France, and “Carlos” in Spain. “Charles” represents the English form of the name. Historically, British monarchs have been referred to in the German manner, a practice established in Russia since the late 19th century, contrasting with the English usage of names such as William and George for the same royal figures. Previous British monarchs bearing the name Charles include Charles I (reigned 1625-1649) and Charles II (reigned 1660-1685).
