There are 10 days after the passing of a British Monarch before that becomes appropriate.

@meJess 10 days of not recognizing any monarch? How odd!
@meJess I tried to tell her that this is inappropriate at this time...

@SW-User no monarchy has no pause 10 days of maintaining a dignified silence.

@HootyTheNightOwl It wasn't informative enough. Thanks, though.
@SW-User Charles became king the moment his mother died, so we still have a monarch - but it won't be officially acknowledged until he attends his coronation.
We don't even know if he will be King Charles III or King George VII yet. He has some decisions to make between now and his coronation day.

@HootyTheNightOwl HE CAN CHOOSE ANY NAME and Decide to be Coronated as "SNOOTY GIZZARD VII" If He So Chooses!
He Wouldn't have to Tell Anyone but the Archbishop of Canterbury who does the Officiating!
He's the KING of ENGLAND and he Can Do WTF He Wants!

@Incomplet Yes... He COULD choose whatever name he wants - in theory.
In practice, that's not a very good idea because the country may then take steps to remove King Snooty Gizzard VII from the job in light of him being unfit for the job.
That was a danger for the late Queen in the last years of her life.
As far as not telling anyone other than the Archbishop of Canterbury goes... that is incorrect. His Majesty has to tell the government who they are serving which is where King Snooty Gizzard VII could meet a swift end since it is in Parliament where the motion to remove him from his new job can be tabled.
Further to that, in the next couple of years or so, new currency will be released into circulation, bearing his name. Anything much longer than "Elizabeth" or "William" will be too long on smaller coins and won't fit alongside the details already there and the new letters that the King has inherited.
There are reasons why the monarchy chooses to reign using "old fashioned" names. It's more trouble than it's worth to try and bring in a name like "King Ronald I".
