Standard practice. Have you ever heard anyone referring to Britain’s second longest serving monarch as Victoria I? No, because there has not yet been a Victoria II, so she is referred to as Queen Victoria. “The first” is only added when there is a need to distinguish them from “the second”.

I'm surprised you've heard of Victoria if you had a King Charles II in 1860.
