    Everything else aside, how is he the IVth if his father the IIIrd has a different name?

      Those don’t need to be consecutive. King Charles III’s father was not King Charles II. So he could just be the 4th in his family with that name. And the dad was the 3rd in family with the other name.

      But it’s also possibly a nickname thing.
