The Prince's style and title in full: Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, KG, KT, GCB, OM, AK, QSO, 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.[1]
- 14 November 1948 – 6 February 1952: His Royal Highness Prince Charles of Edinburgh
- 6 February 1952 – present: His Royal Highness The Duke of Cornwall
- in Scotland: 6 February 1952 – present: His Royal Highness The Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick
- 26 July 1958 – present: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, Earl of Chester.
- in Scotland: 6 February 1952 – present: His Royal Highness The Prince of Scotland, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland
In the Commonwealth realms, outside of the United Kingdom, where Prince Charles is a member of the national royal family, no official title is accorded to him through law. Instead he is addressed using his UK title as a courtesy title.
From 2000 to 2001, Charles was entitled to be called His Grace The Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Regnal name
If Prince Charles succeeds his mother as monarch and uses his first given name as his regnal name, he would be known as Charles III. However, there has been speculation that he may choose a different name, due to negative associations with the name Charles in royal history (Charles I having been beheaded in 1649, and Charles II reigning during the Great Fire of London and the plague). Charles III is also partially 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' grandfather,[2][3] although the Prince has denied discussing a regnal name.[4]
