This is news that shakes the planet, at the same time as it upsets the order of things on the side of England. Thursday September 8, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II breathed her last at the age of 96. While his condition worried everyone, every member of his family – even Meghan and Harry! – had gone to his bedside. The sovereign had first of all had to cancel a videoconference on September 7, 2022, organized at Balmoral Castle in Scotland … until her doctors said to themselves, the next day, “preoccupied” by his state of health. His death is therefore a blow for his children, his grandchildren, his great-grandchildren, each member of his entourage. For his son Charles, it is the beginning of a new chapter… cursed?
He is effectively the successor to Queen Elizabeth II, as the eldest son – she was also mother to Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. Prince Charles had already begun to replace his royal mother, on Tuesday May 10, 2022, during the speech from the throne, which he had held for the first time, announcing the priorities of the English government before Parliament. It had been said that the queen could not fulfill this task because of “mobility problem“. By recovering all the tasks that fall to the King of England, Charles could well have made another decision… to change his name..
Instead of becoming King Charles, he could choose to become King George VII, or King Philip, or King Arthur
It is a rule enshrined in the protocol that governs the royal family of the United Kingdom. A monarch, when he accedes to the throne, is authorized to use one of his second names. Before him, Kings Edward VII and Edward VIII had taken advantage of this authorization, when they were called Albert and David respectively. As for Charles, his full name is Charles Philip Arthur George. “Instead of becoming King Charles, he could choose to become King George VII, or King Philip, or King Arthur“told a royal expert to Express.co. “George VII would not only be a tribute to his grandfather, but also a gesture of memory towards his grandmother whom he absolutely adored. added Dickie Arbiter, the former Buckingham Palace spokesman to the BBC.
