From the national anthem to notes and coins, to stamps and passports, many aspects of everyday life in the UK are affected by World War III. That will change with the accession of Charles to the throne.
currency and stamps
The face of the new king will begin to stamp the coins and banknotes of England and other countries around the world, and Queen II. It will replace Elizabeth’s face.
Your image will also appear in other currencies used in the Caribbean Islands, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The same applies to the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Man, as well as the Falklands, Gibraltar and Saint Helena, all of which are under the British Crown.
In 1936, King George VIII. During Edward’s 326-day reign, coins were minted, but the monarch abdicated before they could be circulated.
Elizabeth II’s face is also featured on stamps, while the letters EIIR for Elizabeth II Regina are on all mailboxes and now need to be replaced.
The badge on police helmets will also change.
Anthem and passports
The famous British national anthem will change to “God Save the King” with a masculine version of its lyrics.
For the British who have been singing “God Save the Queen” since 1952, it will be a tradition hard to change. It is also one of the two national anthems of New Zealand and the royal anthem of Australia and Canada. They have their own national anthem.
The text on the inside cover of British passports issued in the name of the Crown and similar text on the inside of Australian, Canadian and New Zealand passports will also need to be updated. When toasting in official transactions, it will no longer be called “queen” but “king”.
Policy and rights
The names “His Majesty’s government” (His Majesty), as well as Treasury and Customs, will change to the male version of “His Majesty”.
In this way, it will be the “speech of the king”, not the queen, who will open the parliamentary sessions presenting the program of the future government.
It will also change its name to “The Queen’s Guard,” which is being tirelessly photographed by tourists in front of Buckingham Palace.
The police will now keep the peace of the king, not the queen, and senior lawyers will move from QC (Queen’s counsellor) to KC (King’s counsellor).
In the military, new recruits will no longer receive the “queen’s shilling” when enlisted as per protocol. Nor will they have to obey the queen’s rules.
The name “Her Majesty’s Theatre”, a theater in London’s famous West End where The Phantom of the Opera has been staged since 1986, will also become masculine.
And those who want to speak English with the most elegant accent possible, known as “Queen’s English”, will now have to try to speak “King’s English” Charles III.
