Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church, itself, had very little to do with the Third Crusade, other than as a source of inspiration for the Kings involved. The Third Crusade was known as the Kings' Crusade, as it put an end to the war between France and England when their Kings united to take back Jerusalem from the Muslim forces.
The Third or Kings Crusade began in 1189. This was an attempt by Europeans to recapture Jerusalem from Saladin. Although some of the Holy Land was recaptured, the Third Crusade fell short of its goal and failed to recapture Jerusalem.

Well, really there isn't a particular reason, if indeed this is a colloquial reference for the Third Crusade that I'm not aware of then it is probably, as a previous person answered,"Because the kind of England Richard the Lion Heart (Richard I) lead his army himself during the holy crusades."However, I think you may be getting confused; I would reference the Second Crusade as the Kings' Crusade because this was the first time that royalty had been on crusade - partially due to the king of France - Philip I - having been excommunicated shortly before the events of the First Crusade.Hope that helps!
