Whatever your opinion on her, we now have King Charles instead which who knows how that might end up. He's seems too opinionated to last though as at least Elizabeth was very good at being snide, though she seemed to lose most her strength when Philip died last year.
If he gets coronated under that name, he's doing it purely for ego.
Charles I was overthrown by Cromwell
Charles II overthrew Cromwell only to be a philandering sex pest with 12 illegitimate children - and those are just the ones he admitted to.
He definitely shouldn't want to be be compared to either of those.
He has the middle name(s) Philip Arthur George, so he may choose to be coronated under one of those.
Cromwell (at least Oliver) was dead by the time Charles II came to England - by invitation, not by overthrowing him.
George isn't exactly an auspicious name either. And there's never been a Philip or Arthur AFAIK.
There’s never been an Arthur since 1066, yes…
But if we’re talking Anglo-Saxon..?
Pretty sure there’s at least one or two with the Olde English version of that name, not just in fiction, though I could be wrong, lol…
REGIS QUONDAM REGISQUE FUTURI
No, he can't be King Arthur.
