Continuity
I was using the word continuity in it`s wider context. In it`s very narrow sense, each new monarch would indeed adopt the regnal name of their immediate predecessor ( King Elizabeth??!! ) The regnal names of British Kings, either by birth or adoption, reflect the importance of each successive Royal house, their place in British history and their relevance to modern society. I would hope that the Prince of Wales does indeed use his birth name, a natural progression from King Charles III to King William V would be a perfect example.
