So Elizabethan, Edwardian Arthurian all slip of the tongue easily, what will the Charles reign be know as Chuckage ?
http://www.brad.ac.uk/archaeomagneti...iods-glossary/ 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

It would to to Andrew's son if he had one. Harry will have another Dukedom when he marries.
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?

Not sure about that James VI of Scotland was called James I of England. I think.

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.

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.

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?
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. |

Not really bothered personally what they put on the notes, as long as they are legal tender.

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). |

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

... If he chooses Charles he would be Charles III and the first two didn't exactly have a successful time as monarchs. ...
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.

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

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. |

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