From the national anthem to notes and coins, stamps and passports, many aspects of everyday life in Great Britain will change with the arrival of Charles III to the throne.

British coins and stamps

The face of the new king will begin to appear on the coins and banknotes of England and other countries around the world, replacing Queen Elizabeth II’s profile.

Your image will also appear in other currencies used in the Eastern Caribbean Islands, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The same is true of the islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Man, as well as the Falklands, Gibraltar and Saint Helena, all dependencies of the British Empire.

In 1936, during the 326-day reign of King Edward VIII, coins were minted, but the king abdicated before being circulated.

Elizabeth II’s face also appears on postage stamps, while the letters EIIR, for Elizabeth II Regina, appear on all postboxes, which must be changed.

The badge on the police helmet will also change.

National anthem and passport

The famous British national anthem will be “God Save the King”, with a masculine version of the lyrics.

This would be a potentially difficult habit to break for Britons, who have been singing “God Save the Queen” since 1952. It is also one of the two national anthems of New Zealand and the royal anthems of Australia and Canada, which have national anthems.

The text on the inside cover of British passports, issued in the name of the Crown, and similar inscriptions on the inside of Australian, Canadian and New Zealand passports also need to be updated.

When raising a glass in an official act, it is no longer necessary to say “queen” but “king”.

Policies and rights

The names “Your Majesty”, the treasury and customs will change from “Your Majesty” to “Your Majesty”.

Likewise, it is the “speech of the king”, and not the queen, which will open the parliamentary session by presenting the program of the future government.

They will change in the same way the name “queen’s bodyguard”, photographed and sickened by tourists in front of Buckingham Palace.

The police will no longer keep the queen’s peace, but the king’s peace, and senior lawyers will switch from QC (Queen’s advisor) to KC (King’s advisor).

In the army, new recruits will no longer take “queen shillings” when enlisting, according to the formula. They also don’t have to submit to the queen’s rules.

The name “Her Majesty’s Theatre” will also be masculinized, a theater in London’s famous West End area, where The Phantom of the Opera has been staged since 1986.

And those who want to speak English with the most elegant accent, known as “queen’s English”, should now try to speak Carlos III’s “king’s English”.
