Wikipedia list article
Charles, Prince of Wales has received numerous titles, decorations, and honorary appointments during his time as heir apparent to the thrones of the Commonwealth realms . Each is listed below; where two dates are shown, the first indicates the date of receiving the title or award (the title as Prince Charles of Edinburgh being given as from his birth) and the second indicates the date of its loss or renunciation.
Royal and noble titles and styles
1948–1952: His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Edinburgh[ 1]
1952–present: His Royal Highness The Duke of Cornwall
in Scotland : 1952–present: His Royal Highness The Duke of Rothesay
1958–present: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
The Prince's full style and title is: His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, KG, KT, GCB, OM, AK, QSO, CC, PC, ADC, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland .[ 2] [ 3]
Regnal name
If Prince Charles succeeds his mother as monarch and uses his first given name as his regnal name , he will be known as Charles III . However, there has been speculation that he may choose a different name, because the previous two monarchs named Charles are both associated with negative events in royal history: Charles I was beheaded in 1649, and Charles II reigned during the Great Fire of London . The name Charles III is also associated with the Jacobite pretender , Charles Edward Stuart , who claimed the throne under that name in the 18th century. The most discussed alternative regnal name has been George VII , in honour of Charles' maternal grandfather,[ 4] [ 5] although the Prince has denied discussing a regnal name.[ 6]
