Not everyone would agree on that point .. they might say that Mary II and William III were the usurpers! Anyway Bonnie Prince Charlie was hailed as the King in Edinburgh ... just saying that using his natal name might not be the best policy.
I think that that is only just between supporters of current royal family and Jacobites. And with my knowledge Jacobites are not very strong political power currently. Probably even smaller one than Carlists of Spain. Do even current nominal claimant duke of Bavaria care about that issue any?=
And IMO it would look bit odd that Charles would use number IV not III since previous legal king Charles was II. Yes, not quiet unique thing but using name Charles IV would mean that prince of Wales and royal family recognise the Bonnie Prince as legal king. And how many Brits even know about that Jacobite claimant?
