Why did Louis XVI change his name from the King of France to the King of the French?

'King of France' implies total lordship over the entire territory of France by divine right; 'King of the French' claims only supremacy by consent of the people. The same difference can be seen in British history between Charles I and Charles II. It seems to take a royal decapitation to impress this distinction on a dynasty.
