Prince Charles has become King Charles III - but he could've chosen different title

Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, The Duke of Cornwall, will be grieving after his mother, the Queen, died peacefully at Balmoral Castle on Thursday. Major changes have been sparked in the Royal Family, with Charles officially stepping up as monarch. The Palace have confirmed that the new King will be known as Charles III, following the death of the Queen.

Sources previously suggested that Prince Charles could be known as King George, rather than Charles, to avoid bad luck, after the fate of the previous two King Charles' but he has chosen to go by Charles III despite this.
