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 the III) 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!

Kings' crusade
It was called the kings crusade because at the time Richard the lion heart and saladin had a fight against the holy land, they are both kings in some sort of way.
the third crusades was called the king's crusades, because they had favor in the king's eyes.

The Third Crusade lasted from 1189 until 1192. Also known as the Kings' Crusade.
The kings of England and France.
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.
In the third crusade, which took place from 1189 to 1192, (or Kings' Crusade), the European Kings attempted to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt and Syria. Though it was a massive success, the kings never reconquered Jerusalem, the jewel of the crown.
