Charles II was quite popular, actually. The problem was his brother, James II (or VII in Scotland), who was at once absolutist, but also ineffectual and weak, and who shat up the succession by having a son with his second wife, displacing the protestant Mary. He ended up causing such a mess that he was asked (not very politely) to leave, and Mary was crowned as queen alongside her husband, William II, in the joint reign of Mary and William. William became sole monarch after head death, and the rest is history.How bad was the papist Charles the 2nd that the bongs invited the Germans to replace their royal family.
(I'm skipping the whole part with Queen Anne dying childless and her cousin George being next in line, which is where the reign of the hanovers actually started).
