Sorry to disagree with you, KoolAid, but he will be King Charles III.
Charles I was beheaded at the instigation of the Puritan faction of his opponents in 1649 after his forces (the "Cavaliers") were defeated by the "Roundheads" in the English Civil War.
Charles II was invited back the the UK to be King when the British population got fed up with the Puritan rule of the "The Commonwealth" of which Oliver Cromwell was the self-appointed "Lord Protector" of the state. (His son succeeded him for a few short years.) During the Commonwealth (also known as "The Protectorate"), 1649 to 1660, anything of which the Puritans disapproved (eg the Theatre and any form of "lascivious or bawdy entertainment" was banned and strict Sunday observance was brought in with failure to attend church services being punished with fines etc. The citizenry did not take to this imposition on their happiness and invited Charles I's son to return from exile on the Continent and be their King.
Charles II was morally the complete opposite of the Puritans and his reign was a complete success with the English happy to have him as their King. (By-the-by, he had a long time mistress, Nell Gwynne, who was an orange seller!)
Incidentally, Charles has just confirmed that he will be known as King Charles III.
