The National Anthem Will Also Change
A marginally minor adjustment, you might assume, but one that will require some getting used to nonetheless. The patriotic lyrics have been used by the British for almost 70 years: “God save our gracious Queen, long live our noble Queen.” Of course, if Charles takes the throne, Her Royal Highness would have to be substituted for “gracious King.” God Save the King was a song first sung publicly in London in 1745 and became known at the beginning of the nineteenth century as the National Anthem.
Prince Charles’ On Bank Notes
Many who hold on to coins and banknotes may see the face of Prince Charles, not the Queen, staring back at them until he is king, despite more citizens preferring cashless transactions. This may not be the first time that Charles has been etched on coins. In 2018, a commemorative set of £ 5 coins for the Prince’s 70th birthday was issued. His portrayal was combined with the Queen’s official portrait, on the other hand.
