Charles has suggested he might be George VII - but I can't see why he shouldn't just be Charles III. After all, Prince George is more entitled to be George VII when he gets there. George VI's name was actually Albert (after the Prince Consort) but there was no tradition of King Alberts in England.

I read somewhere that it was because one of the previous Charles ruled over a particularly bloody time in the monarchy.
