The new anthem ‘God save the king’ and the first trials ‘in the name of the king’ since 1952 have already taken place in London, whose settings are to change from the letterboxes to the buttons of the Royal Navy with the image of Elizabeth II
The England cricket team welcomed Charles III to the Oval Stadium in South London. They play the series against South Africa this season and after a minute of silence in honor of the late Queen before Saturday’s game, the players sang the English national anthem. The popular “Jerusalem” is their usual song in international competitions, but in the emotional flow of the monarchical succession, they sang “God Save the King” (God save the king) led by soprano Laura Wright. It was the country’s first sports competition to feature the revised stanza of the national composition in honor of the new British monarch.
Other changes were almost immediate. Once Elizabeth II died and the highest state office passed to her eldest son, Liz Truss’ conservative executive became the new “Government of His Majesty the King”, the elite lawyers ceased to be “Queen’s Counsel” and the royal licenses those she assigned to her favorite providers were relegated to the mailbox pending incarceration to history. The criminal court of the Old Bailey in London called the “first trial in the king’s name since 1952” on the 9th, according to William Holmes on the Legal Checks platform.
Two distinctive acronyms of two monarchs, ‘E II R’ (Elizabeth Regina, in Latin, Isabel queen) and ‘C III R’ (Charles Rex, Carlos rey), in addition to the change of sex, will force changes everywhere. In English, the initials of queen (queen) do not match king (king), as the Crown Office warned when instructing legal experts to urgently update their credentials. High scholars are now called KC (King’s Counsel), instead of the hitherto universal QC. “I just changed my email signature from QC to KC. An everyday and unimportant task in itself, but one that touches and touches me personally,” confessed lawyer John Machell.
It is a 70-year-old population that is familiar with the image of Elizabeth II, with her profile portrait embedded in coins, notes and stamps, which are hard to leave behind. “Apart from the strangeness of hearing Charles being addressed by his new title of King and Prince William becoming the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, these small changes will be shocking and make the familiar a little less familiar.” , Professor Pauline Maclaran admits on the portal of ‘Het Gesprek’.
Carlos will contribute his own iconography to the reign and some details have not been revealed. Such is the case with the crown you incorporate into your personal monogram, a fundamental reference point in the design of seals, badges, medals and other awards. He could opt for the Tudor crown, which his male ancestors wore, or follow the tradition of his mother, who chose St. Edward’s.
Regardless of the new era royal flag, adjustments on multiple realms will be essential. The Tower of London’s guards, the popular Beefeaters, will have to renew their uniforms, which have worn the ‘EIIIR’ badge for seven decades. Police officers wear insignia honoring the Queen on their hats and Royal Navy coats have buttons decorated with the icon of the deceased matriarch.
The privatized Royal Mail (the British postal service) will work with the king to design the portrait that will be printed on the next series of stamps. The current collection is based on a profile of Elizabeth II originally printed in 1967. Known by the name of the series’ designer, Arnold Machin, it is considered the “most reproduced work of art in the world,” he says. maclaran. Since then, more than 200,000 million copies in various colors have been published.
The image of the king to be minted on the next pound and pence coins is also yet to be revealed. With the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Carlos II inaugurated the tradition of using the inverted profile of the previous monarch. The Queen is looking to the right on the estimated 29 billion national coins in circulation, so her son will pose to the left if he chooses to follow the custom. The Royal Mint, which is in charge of the production, has not indicated when it will release the ‘split change’ of the new reign.
The same unknown remains the Bank of England, issuer of British pounds, although the transition will take a long time before the money with the image of Elizabeth II is withdrawn. The dilemma in this case affects some thirty Commonwealth countries, including Canada and Australia, which, in cash, have the image of the late Queen on their currency.
