I assume my ancestor William the Conqueror became King William 1st and maybe William (of William and Mary) was William 2nd, so I guess that would make the current Prince of Wales William 3rd when he takes over.

It is interesting Charles and Diana named their sons William and Harold. William the Conqueror defeated and killed King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Maybe those names are a sign the brothers will not get along well in the future.
Just curious, not up to speed on the whole royal thing. What would happen in the scenario where William dies before his father Charles? Hopefully that wouldn’t mean the loser and family traitor Harry would become King when Charles dies? That would certainly tarnish the whole perception of the Royal Family.
