I read HRH would change to George if and when he becomes king as the kings Charles 1st and 2nd had no luck whatsoever. Saying that the present day Charles lost his head..... over a woman:-)
It's not unheard of for monarchs to change their name. In the last century Albert became Edward VII, David became Edward VIII and Bertie became George VI (even though his brother was called George). I was always under the impression that Charles would take the title George VII but some say he'll stick with Charles III.
He survived a Civil War, was popular with the people, very popular with the ladies and saw the country through a difficult transition from a colourless dictatorship to monarchy.
He was quite a good king and his reputation has improved of late as people become more aware of his diplomatic skills, rather than being transfixed by his rampant sex life.
If there's an unlucky name for a King of England, it's got to be Richard. All three have died violent deaths.
We've had six Georges and they've been either boring, thick, or bonkers, but I suppose any one of those descriptions might well fit the present Prince Of Wales.
