THE QUEEN IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING! The National Anthem changes from LONG LIVE THE QUEEN to LONG LIVE THE KING _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
In the UK, all cash notes and coins depict the face of the Queen - but now following her death, new coins and cash will be created with the face of the King.
Plans have been in place for this for a long time and the new cash will be produced and distributed into general circulation, with the old money gradually being phased out.
It is thought money with the Queen's face will remain legal tender for a while yet - with a date eventually being set for the future when they can no longer be used.
However, it's not just in the UK, where the Queen's face is used on the currency. It is also used in countries, such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand - and they too will eventually phase out cash with her image on.

Stamps
Stamps - similar to cash - also depict an image of the Queen and again new ones will have to be created with the face of the King.
Ones that have a picture of the Queen will be phased out very gradually.

Postboxes
A postbox with the Queen's cypher on it
Across the UK, apart from in Scotland, most postboxes have this cypher across them.
And although after a monarch passes away, postboxes aren't replaced - any new ones made are likely to feature the cypher chosen by the new King.
Quote:
Uniforms
The Queen's cypher appears on many uniforms in the UK including those worn by police officers and the military.
These uniforms will likely be updated over time with the new King's cypher.
Quote:
Passports
New passports will be issued. If you've ever checked your UK passport, it will state: "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.”
Therefore new passports issued will be tweaked to reflect the male pronouns of the new King.
However, it's likely that passports will only need to be updated once they have expired.

National Anthem
Now the Queen has died, the national anthem will no longer be God Save the Queen.
It will revert to the version for a male monarch, which is God Save the King, with the pronouns within the words changed to the male version.
This version of the national anthem was last used in 1952 when George VI was on the throne.

do they gotta change the song?

When Her Majesty the Queen dies, Britain and the Commonwealth will no longer sing 'God Save the Queen'. When our long-standing monarch Elizabeth II dies, the British and Commonwealth anthem will revert to its male version, which was used before she ascended to the throne. It goes as follows: God save our gracious King!

She met with FOURTEEN US PRESIDENTS. That's incredible. Politics of the monarchy aside, I unexpectedly got a little choked up when I heard. I don't think her run on the world stage will ever be replicated.

Probably not in the future says King Louis the XIV

Queen Elizabeth II’s former personal chef Darren McGrady, who traveled with the Queen and her family for more than a decade, reminisces over fond memories and the Queen’s favorite meals.
('It's complicated.' Black Britons react to Queen Elizabeth II death)
Quote:
CNN's Zain Asher discusses how Black Britons with African ancestry are reacting to Queen Elizabeth's death considering the monarch's history of colonization.
She showed her sense of humor by appearing in Naked Gun Pt 1. The table slide w/ Nielsen between her legs was great. In addition to 14 Presidents, she also met OJ and Livia Soprano. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
