King Charles III reportedly considered changing his regnal name to distance himself from Charles I & II
Fox News
An anonymous source claimed that then-Prince Charles wanted to change his regnal name to George to avoid invoking the legacies of Charles I & Charles II, two controversial kings.
A "trusted friend" told the London Times in 2005 that the Prince of Wales might avoid the name Charles, claiming it is "tinged with so much sadness."
The same source reported that Charles considered making his regnal name George VII instead to honor his grandfather George VI.
