So Elizabethan, Edwardian Arthurian all slip of the tongue easily, what will the Charles reign be know as Chuckage ?
At the moment there isn't a name for it:

There's the Jacobean age for James I/James VI and then for some reason it skips to the Victorian age

Maybe it will be the Charlian age

I think you missed the Georgian era.

In architecture, the prevailing style during the reigns of the first 2 Charlies is known as Carolean.

You're right, but it isn't on the list in the link. So they've missed it out.

It would to to Andrew's son if he had one. Harry will have another Dukedom when he marries.
Will Harry lose his "of Wales" when Charles ascends, because his father is no longer Prince of Wales? If so, he might get his Dukedom then to ensure he has a title.

Also when Charles ascends, both William and Harry will get "The" in front of their names (i.e. HRH The Prince William, Duke of Cornwall* and HRH The Prince Henry of Wales (or Duke of Somewhere if the above applies)).

They're starting to run out of traditional royal Dukedoms because so many in current use also have male heirs. I wonder if Duke of Windsor will be sufficiently "cleansed" by the time George comes to marry?

*Cornwall is senior to Cambridge, but he won't immediately be PoW - he needs to be invested as such first.

Isn't Charles going to become King George VII?

Most popular for Her Madge's era is New Elizabethan, Chas will be George if he ever gets to sit on the throne so New Georgian.

Not sure about that James VI of Scotland was called James I of England. I think.
He was James the VI and I, but the modern practice is to just use the highest number. So if there was a king James it would James VIII.

The rumour is that Harry will get Duke of Suffolk when he marries or otherwise needs one.

There's nothing to stop them creating new ones if they need to anyway.

Considering there are still VR, and GR postboxes around I don't expect there will be a glut of new ones rolled out. They'll just replace them as and when they need replacing.

And for William will it be the 'Guillaumian' era?!

I just realised that all the notes will have Charles on them. I've nothing personal against the chap (I'm no oil painting), but, the notes will look strange. Ol' Queen Lizzy scrubs up quite well on them, but Charles?
Not really bothered personally what they put on the notes, as long as they are legal tender.

On stamps and coins, the head will be looking the other way, so right instead of left on stamps and left instead of right on coins.

While you're right about coins, it doesn't apply to stamps. The Monarch has always faced left.

George VI stamps
Edward VIII stamps
George V stamps
Edward VII stamps
Victoria stamps

On coins, Edward VIII wanted to break with tradition and face left, the same as his father George V, and a few samples were produced showing this. However, none went into circulation and with the ascension of George VI they decided to keep the pattern and have him face left (following what should have been a face-right from Edward).

Hmm. I wonder where I got that idea from. Maybe I was looking at some British Empire and/or British Overseas Territories stamps at the time and then jumped to the wrong conclusion. Or it may be that what I said applies to coins, then the same would naturally apply to stamps. Anyway, thanks for putting me right.

... If he chooses Charles he would be Charles III and the first two didn't exactly have a successful time as monarchs. ...
Could go for the 'third time lucky' approach, though having said that, 'anyone the third' has less luck due to being frequently used as rhyming slang.

Off the top of my head (appropriate when discussing royalty) the only King Philip I ever heard of was of Spain or possibly France when we were at war with one or both of them (so what changes), and Arthur would be seen as too presumptive unless he takes the Python version complete with coconut halves.

So George would seem to be the logical choice?

I would like them to break away from having the Monarch on every note. Surely the country could come up with something a bit more imaginative?

The monarch being on the coins is enough surely? Scotland and NI can come up with enough things to fill their notes without having to use the Monarch, so why can't the country as a whole spice it up a bit?

And if we must put him/her on it why do they have to look so dour? The Queen is smiling quite broadly on the Jersey notes, looks much better than our ones.

Charles won't become king because he is married to Camilla who is a divorcee.

Of course he will become King (ceteris paribus).

Times have changed since 1936. More importantly, so has the Church of England.

Look harder then. In 2002, The Church of England change its views and rules on divorce.

In any case, there was no rule as such that prevented Edward from marrying Wallis Simpson. It was just very very difficult for him to do so - to the extent that abdication was preferable.

They main reason they changed the rules was so Charlie could still become King.

I don't think the the offspring of the Creature From The Black Lagoon and Jason can become Queen though.

If you mean Camilla, then legally she will be Queen when Charles becomes King.
