Charles III on horseback during
Trooping the Colour in 2023
Charles III has received numerous titles, decorations, and honorary appointments, as a member of the
British royal family , as
heir apparent to
Elizabeth II , and as
King of the United Kingdom and the 14 other
Commonwealth realms .
Royal and noble titles and styles
Charles was originally styled as "His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Edinburgh" per
letters patent issued by his grandfather
George VI .
[1]
Upon the accession of his mother as queen, as the eldest son of the monarch, Charles automatically became, in
England , the
Duke of Cornwall and, in
Scotland , the
Duke of Rothesay ,
Earl of Carrick ,
Baron of Renfrew ,
Lord of the Isles , and
Prince and Great Steward of Scotland .
[2] As such, he was styled "His Royal Highness The Duke of Cornwall", except in Scotland, where he was known as "His Royal Highness The Duke of Rothesay" instead.
In 1958,
letters patent from the then sovereign made Charles the
Prince of Wales and
Earl of Chester and,
[3] on 1 July 1969, he was invested as such during the
a ceremony in which a coronet and robes were placed on him.
[4] In 2021, upon the death of his father,
Prince Philip , Charles furthermore inherited the titles
Duke of Edinburgh ,
Earl of Merioneth , and
Baron Greenwich .
[5] When he became the British sovereign himself on 8 September 2022, these titles
merged with the Crown .
Regnal name
In an announcement following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister
Liz Truss referred to Charles as King Charles III, the first official usage of that name.
[9] Shortly afterwards
Clarence House confirmed that he would use the regnal name Charles III .
[10]
There had previously been speculation that he might 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 Plague and 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 had been George VII , in honour of Charles' maternal grandfather;
[11]
[12] although, prior to succeeding to the throne, Charles denied discussing a regnal name at all.

In spring 2023, the Canadian government introduced a bill changing the monarch's title by dropping the reference to the United Kingdom and the phrase Defender of the Faith .
