Quebec sovereigntists urge Canada to cut ties to British monarchy.

Quebec sovereigntists have called on Canada to cut ties with the British monarchy, which the head of the Bloc Quebecois party described as a costly and “archaic” symbol.

The party’s symbolic motion, debated in the House of Commons in Ottawa on Tuesday, comes amid a renewed debate in Commonwealth realms around the role of the British crown following the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy and its ceremonial “head of state” is now King Charles III.

“We think we need to dispose of [ties to the British monarchy] easily, quickly, without making a fuss. It’s an anachronism. It’s a coat of paint in a living room that is starting to fade in the corners,” Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet said during a news conference before the debate.

A vote is expected on Wednesday on the measure, which is unlikely to pass.

Canada also requires much more to cut ties with the British crown; such a decision needs the approval of both houses of parliament, as well as the consent of all the Canadian provinces, CBC News reported.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected the Bloc’s effort on Tuesday, telling the House of Commons that the political party was ignoring more pressing issues, including inflation and rising costs of living.

“Canadians are concerned by the issues they are facing, whether that’s climate change, global instability or the cost of living. And that’s what we choose to discuss,” Trudeau said. “They [the Bloc] want to reopen the constitution; we will remain focused on the concerns of Canadians.”

Queen Elizabeth II’s death last month prompted an outpouring of condolences, including from Trudeau, who described the longtime monarch – and Canada’s longest-reigning sovereign – as “a constant presence” in the lives of Canadians.

“Today, a page has not only been turned, but a chapter in our shared history has drawn to a close. I know Her Majesty’s service to Canada and Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country’s history,” Trudeau said in a statement on September 8.

An Ipsos poll released just days later showed that Canadians were divided over the monarchy’s future role in the country, however, with 58 percent saying they wanted Trudeau to hold a referendum on the matter – up five percentage points since Queen Elizabeth II’s death.

More than half of respondents (54 percent) said they agreed that Canada should “end its formal ties to the British monarchy” in the aftermath of her death, compared with 46 percent who disagreed.

Quebec, a predominantly French-speaking province, had the highest percentage of people who agreed to cut ties with the crown, at 79 percent, the poll found.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen legislators in Quebec, which held elections in early October, have refused to take an oath to King Charles III that is required to enter the provincial legislature, local media reported. “I am sincerely uncomfortable with pledging an allegiance to a foreign king,” Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the provincial Parti Quebecois, recently said.

While some Commonwealth realms said they had no immediate plans to remove the British crown as head of state following the queen’s passing, others have seen an increased debate around whether to ditch the monarchy, especially in the Caribbean.

The prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda said in September that the island nation planned to hold a referendum on the matter in the next three years. That follows in the footsteps of Barbados, which in November renounced the queen to become a republic.

Brooke Newman, an associate professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University, told Al Jazeera last month that she believed Queen Elizabeth II’s death would accelerate that push.

“Now that she is gone, there is much less of a sentimental attachment to the institution of the monarchy, and then even less so to the person of Charles III,” Newman said.

Famous Egyptian cleric al-Qaradawi dies at 96 weeks after Queen Elizabeth II.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Influential Egyptian cleric Youssef al-Qaradawi has died at the age of 96, his official website announced on Monday.

He died in the Gulf Arab nation of Qatar, where he had been living in exile following the military’s overthrow of the government in Egypt in 2013.

Al-Qaradawi had been tried and sentenced to death in absentia in Egypt. He is known for being a vocal critic of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who, as defense minister, led the 2013 coup that ousted Egypt’s first freely elected president, Mohamed Morsi.

For many years while living in exile, he had a popular talk show on Qatar’s Al-Jazeera network and often weighed in on political topics.

Al-Qaradawi was the founder and former chair of the International Union for Muslim Scholars between 2004 to 2018.

Emmy repeat winners ‘Succession,’ ‘Ted Lasso’ and first timers.

The Emmy Awards spread its accolades to repeat winners and several first-timers in a glorious ceremony on Monday. While the HBO drama “Succession” and comedy “Ted Lasso” bagged the top honors again, a “Squid Game” actor took a major acting prize home as his first.

“Succession” was named best drama series, an award the HBO show had won in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted its production schedule. The show, which secured four trophies overall, tells the story of the wealthy and back-stabbing Roy family as members jockey for power.

Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso” also was a repeat winner, claiming best comedy for the second straight year for its tale of an American football coach leading a British soccer team. Its stars Jason Sudeikis and Brett Goldstein were second-time winners of best comedy actor and supporting actor.

Likewise, voters honored “Euphoria” star Zendaya as best drama actress and Jean Smart of “Hacks” as best comedy actress. It was the second win for each in those categories.

One newcomer to break through was Lee Jung-jae, who was named best drama actor for his role in South Korean thriller “Squid Game.” The dystopian story about cash-strapped contestants risking their lives for wealth became a global sensation after its release on Netflix a year ago.

The actor thanked the team behind “Squid Game” for “making realistic problems we all have to face come to life so creatively on the screen.”

The most-lauded show of the night was HBO’s “The White Lotus.” It won 10 awards including best-limited series and acting trophies for Jennifer Coolidge and Murray Bartlett. Those wins helped HBO and streaming service HBO Max lead all other networks with 38 honors overall.

Host and “Saturday Night Live” star Kenan Thompson kept a celebratory tone throughout the show, saying it was a time to appreciate one of the world’s favorite pastimes.

“What would we do without television, read books?” he joked, before joining dance numbers to theme songs ranging from classic sitcom “Friends” to current sci-fi hit “Stranger Things.”

Winners largely steered clear of politics or world events. One exception was “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong, who joked that it was a big week for “successions,” referring to King Charles taking over the British throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth.

“I’m not saying we’re more legitimate in our position than he is. We’ll leave that to other people,” Armstrong said.

British “Lasso” actor Goldstein, who plays foul-mouthed but soft-hearted soccer legend Roy Kent, said he was going to try not to swear after his profanity-laced remarks were cut off in Britain when he won last year, preventing his family from hearing them.

Then he added: “Mum, Dad … I f*cking love you.”

Singer Lizzo earned an Emmy award for competition series for “Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.” The musician said that as a little girl she had always wanted television to feature “someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me.”

“I’m going to go back and tell a little Lizzo something … you’re going to be that person,” she said.

Among other winners, Michael Keaton was named lead actor in limited series for playing a small-town doctor who becomes addicted to painkillers in “Dopesick.”

Queen Elizabeth’s coffin begins solemn final journey.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin on Sunday left the Scottish retreat where she died as the late monarch embarked on her final journey with thousands of her mourners expected to line the route.

A hush fell over the gathered crowd as the cortege carrying the queen’s casket exited the gates of Balmoral Castle for Edinburgh at the start of an odyssey of mourning in the United Kingdom, culminating in her state funeral in London on Sept. 19.

Six groundskeepers had loaded the oak coffin – draped with a Scottish Royal Standard and a floral wreath – into the black hearse that was to wind its way slowly on a six-hour journey to Scotland’s capital.

Security escort vehicles and a mauve Bentley carrying the queen’s only daughter Princess Anne made up the cortege passing through a series of towns before reaching Edinburgh, where it will rest for two days so people can pay tribute.

The first glimpse of her coffin for a grieving nation came a day after her son Charles III was formally proclaimed king, and after her warring grandsons William and Harry, and their wives Kate and Meghan, briefly reunited for a walkabout.

The king himself will travel to Edinburgh on Monday for a prayer service, before the body of the queen, who died at Balmoral on Thursday aged 96, is flown to London on Tuesday.

Britain’s longest-serving monarch will then lie in state for four days which is expected to draw at least a million people, ahead of a funeral set to be watched worldwide and attended by numerous heads of state.

“It’s the end of an era, it’s quite a big moment for the country and the world,” said Nia Gray-Wannell, a scientist, who brought her two children to Balmoral to pay their respects.

“It felt like it would be worth coming.”

Show of unity
While Charles’ accession has pushed Britain into what newspapers have called the new “Carolean” era, Britain and the royal family are still coming to terms with the end of the Elizabethan age.

Prince William broke his silence with an emotional tribute to his beloved “Grannie” on Saturday.

“She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life,” said William, who has now become the Prince of Wales.

But the queen’s death also brought a surprise show of unity from William, 40, and his younger brother Harry, 37, when they emerged with their wives to speak to well-wishers outside Windsor Castle, near London.

The sight of the two couples who have barely seen each other since 2020, together – even if they separated to speak and shake hands with different sides of the cheering crowds – will likely spark rumors of a reconciliation.

Pictures of the four were splashed on the covers of Sunday’s newspapers.

“Reunited for granny,” read the Sunday Mirror’s headline, while the Telegraph ran with “Reunited in sorrow” and the Sun with “All 4 One.”

The Sunday Times focussed on the apparent frostiness, with the headline: “Warring Windsors’ awkward truce to honour the Queen”.

Senior royals including the queen’s children, Princess Anne and Princes Andrew and Edward and their families also inspected flowers outside Balmoral, where the queen’s body lay in the ballroom.

‘Many, many people’
The symbolism of the queen’s last journey will be heavy for Scotland – a nation with deep royal links, but where there is also a strong independence movement intent on severing the centuries-old union with the United Kingdom.

Dedicated viewing points are being set up along the route, although mourners will be asked not to throw flowers at the convoy as it passes.

“We anticipate many, many people will be keen to pay their respects,” First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said.

The queen’s coffin will be taken to the Holyroodhouse Palace, the monarch’s official residence in Scotland, where it will rest for a day.

King Charles and other royals will Monday take part in a procession to convey her coffin along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to St. Giles’ Cathedral.

The following day the coffin will be flown by Royal Air Force jet to Northolt airfield near London, and driven to Buckingham Palace. Then, on Wednesday, it will be moved to Westminster Hall to lie in state.

King Charles will also visit Northern Ireland and Wales in a show of national unity, accompanied by British Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was only appointed by the late queen Tuesday.

He has seen his popularity recover since the death of his former wife Diana, Princess of Wales, in a 1997 car crash, but he takes the throne at a moment of deep anxiety in Britain over the spiraling cost of living and international instability caused by the war in Ukraine.

‘Inspiring example’
Charles vowed at the formal Accession Council at St. James’s Palace on Saturday that he would “strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set” by his mother during her “lifetime of service.”

The centuries-old tradition was televised live for the first time, featuring a fanfare of trumpets and a court official wearing a feathered hat to declare him king from a palace balcony.

Thousands of people have gathered outside Buckingham Palace and other royal residences in recent days to lay flowers and messages of condolence, or simply to experience history in the making.

But officials expect far more people to pay their respects while the queen lies in state, before the televised funeral service at Westminster Abbey opposite.

The funeral for the queen – who came to the throne aged just 25 in 1952 – will be attended by national leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and possibly Japanese Emperor Naruhito.

Her record 70 years on the throne were a constant during a turbulent time for Britain, from a world of post-war deprivation and the loss of its empire, to more recent traumas like the coronavirus pandemic.

Charles’s coronation, an elaborate ritual steeped in tradition and history, will take place in the same historic surroundings of Westminster Abbey, as it has for centuries, on a date to be fixed

Harry, Meghan, William and Kate meet crowds at Windsor.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan joined Prince William and his wife Kate on a walkabout among crowds near Windsor Castle on Saturday, after the death of their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, raising the prospect of a rapprochement between the brothers.

The two sons of King Charles III, once so close after the death of their mother Diana in a Paris car crash in 1997, have fallen out in recent years after Harry and Meghan gave up their royal titles to move to the United States.

The couple had been in Britain on a brief visit when the queen, Britain’s longest reigning monarch, died on Thursday.

Like other senior members of the royal family, Harry rushed to be by the queen’s side as she deteriorated at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and a spokesperson for the heir to the throne said an invitation for the Windsor walk had been extended by William.

A royal source described it as an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family. They emerged from the same car, all wearing black.

The two couples did not interact much during the 40-minute walkabout near one of the queen’s favorite English homes, as they stopped to read messages left among the flowers and shake hands and chat with the thousands of people lining the Long Walk.

At one point Meghan was hugged by a woman in the crowd while others stretched to shake hands and talk to the four royals in the early evening. William spent some time bending down chatting to children, while Kate and Harry accepted flowers and messages of encouragement from those in the crowd.

Royal observers had been looking for signs of a detente amid the pomp and ceremony of a period of national mourning and Elizabeth’s state funeral.

On Friday Charles used his first address to the nation as king to express his “love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”

He also bestowed on William and daughter-in-law Kate the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, which he and his late wife Diana previously held.

William was heard telling one well-wisher that the days following the queen’s death had been “so surreal.”

“We all thought she was invincible,” he said.

Under royal rules, the monarch’s grandchildren are automatically eligible to become princes or princesses of the realm, so now that Harry’s father Charles is king, his children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, can receive those titles. Lilibet was named after the queen’s childhood nickname.

It is not clear whether they will take the titles.

“At the moment we’re focused on the next 10 days. As and when we get information, we will update the (royal) website,” a spokesperson for Charles told reporters.

Charles III made King — Funeral for Queen Elizabeth II comes up Sept. 19.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth will be held on Sept. 19, royal officials said Saturday, as her son Charles was formally proclaimed Britain’s new king in a colorful ceremony laden with pageantry and tradition.

The death of the 96-year-monarch after 70 years on the throne set in train long-established and highly choreographed plans for days of national mourning and a state funeral.

Charles automatically became king when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on Thursday, but the accession ceremony is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.

Elizabeth’s coffin will leave her Scottish estate on Sunday and be driven by hearse through remote highland villages to Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, pausing during its six-hour journey to allow people to pay their respects.

The coffin will then be flown to London on Tuesday where it will remain at Buckingham Palace before being taken to Westminster Hall to lie in state until the funeral at Westminster Abbey at 10 a.m. GMT on Monday, Sept. 19.

Scores of senior politicians past and present, including Prime Minister Liz Truss and five of her predecessors, gathered in the ornate state apartments at St. James’s Palace for the meeting of the Accession Council.

They met without Charles, officially confirming his title, King Charles III. The king joined them to make a personal declaration, vowing to follow his mother’s “inspiring example” as he took on the duties of monarch.

“I am deeply aware of this great inheritance and of the duties and heavy responsibilities of sovereignty which have now passed to me,” he said.

Advertisements

Speaking of his personal grief, he said, “I know how deeply you and the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathize with me in this irreparable loss we have all suffered.”

The new king formally approved a series of orders – including one declaring the day of his mother’s funeral a public holiday.

This is the first time the accession ceremony has been held since 1952, when Queen Elizabeth II took the throne.

Charles was accompanied at the ceremony by his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, and his eldest son Prince William. William is now heir to the throne and known by the title Charles long held, Prince of Wales.

After the ceremony, an official will read the proclamation aloud from a balcony at St. James’s Palace. It will also be read out in the medieval City of London and at other locations across the U.K.

Two days after the 96-year-old queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following an unprecedented 70 years on the throne, people still came in their thousands to pay their respects outside Buckingham Palace in London. The scene was repeated at other royal residences across the U.K. and at British embassies around the world.

The monarch set the tone for his reign on Friday, vowing in a televised address to carry on the queen’s “lifelong service,” with his own modernizing stamp.

Charles looked to both the past – noting his mother’s unwavering “dedication and devotion as sovereign” – and the future, seeking to strike a reassuring note of constancy while signaling that his will be a 21st-century monarchy.

He reflected on how the country had changed dramatically during the queen’s reign into a society “of many cultures and many faiths,” and pledged to serve people in Britain and the 14 other countries where he is king “whatever may be your background or beliefs.”

He also tried to overcome a reputation for aloofness in his first hours as monarch, spending time shaking hands with some of the thousands who came to leave flowers and pay tribute to the queen at the gates of Buckingham Palace. He was greeted with shouts of “Well done, Charlie!” and “God save the king!” One woman gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Britain is holding a period of mourning for the queen, with days of carefully choreographed ceremonies marking the death of the only monarch most people have ever known.

In his speech, Charles struck a personal note, speaking of his sorrow at the loss of “my darling Mama.”

“Thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years,” he said, ending with a quote from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” “May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.'”

EPL clubs ‘fearful’ of further fixture postponements.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Premier League clubs are worried that next weekend’s round of fixtures could also be postponed after this weekend’s matches were called off in tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The league’s board voted unanimously in favour of calling this weekend’s schedule off on Friday, with fixtures across the country similarly cancelled – including at grassroots level.

However, the move came in for criticism when other sports – such as rugby union and cricket – decided to play on in the Queen’s honour instead.

The Guardian report that Premier League clubs fear they could lose next weekend’s fixtures too. A state funeral is expected to be held on Monday 19 September, and while there are no top flight games scheduled for that date specifically, there could be further logistical challenges.

The funeral will require a large police operation and so there may be a shortage of security available for football matches, particularly those in London that weekend – Tottenham host Leicester on Saturday, while Brentford play Arsenal and Chelsea face Liverpool on Sunday.

Advertisements

Brighton’s Saturday clash at home to rivals Crystal Palace was postponed due to a planned train strike that day, but industrial action has since been called off due to the Queen’s passing.

Clubs are worried that there will be little to no time to play any further re-arranged fixtures in what is already a packed schedule. The report adds most sides feel it would be better to partially complete the next matchday where possible rather than call it off again entirely.

Australia mourns queen’s death amid debate to ditch UK monarchy.

Leave a comment
Advertisements

Australians mourned the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Friday as Republicans revived a longstanding debate on ending the country’s association with the 1,000-year-old monarchy.

The British monarch is the head of state in Australia, among 14 realms outside the United Kingdom, although the role is largely ceremonial.

Australia has long debated the need to keep a distant monarch. A 1999 referendum in Australia on becoming a republic lost with 55% of voters opposed.

“Our thoughts are with her family and all who loved her. Now Australia must move forward,” said Australian Greens Party leader Adam Bandt, a prominent republican.

“We need Treaty with First Nations people, and we need to become a Republic,” he wrote on Twitter.

Bandt was accused, even by some fellow republicans, of being disrespectful by bringing up the issue just hours after the queen’s death.

“Not the right time to call for a republic irrespective of where you sit on the monarchy/republic spectrum. Not respectful after her long life of service,” one of Bandt’s followers said in response to the tweet.

Bandt’s office did not immediate respond to an email seeking comment.

The Australian Republic Movement also offered condolences while noting that the queen had backed Australia’s right to become a fully independent nation during the 1999 referendum, saying she had affirmed it was “an issue for the Australian people and them alone to decide.”

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has spoken in support of moving toward a republic. But on Friday he said: “Today’s a day for one issue and one issue only, which is to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.”

Similar debates are occurring in the Caribbean, where Jamaica has signaled it may soon follow Barbados in ditching royal rule.

Hong Kong mourn Queen Elizabeth II with nickname.

Many Hong Kong residents took to social media to mourn Queen Elizabeth II, a woman affectionately nicknamed “boss lady” among older residents in a city that was one of Britain’s last colonies.

Elizabeth visited Hong Kong twice during her reign, while her son – now King Charles III – was present for the handover to China in 1997.

“My grandmother who raised me always spoke of the ‘boss lady’, I heard about her so much she felt like family … Today it’s like a family member passed away,” Facebook user Vincent Lam wrote.

“It’s the end of an era … Thank you for your lifetime of devotion,” read another post on the Facebook group Hong Kong Reminiscence that garnered nearly 4,000 likes within hours of Elizabeth’s death, news of which broke overnight in the city.

In a message he shared on Twitter, Erdoğan said he extends his condolences to the friendly people of the United Kingdom and the allied government upon the death of the queen, which he said he learned with “great sadness.”

Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96 on Thursday.

Buckingham Palace said she died at Balmoral Castle, her summer residence in Scotland, where members of the royal family had rushed to be by her side. The BBC played the national anthem over a portrait of the queen in full regalia.

With the death of the queen, her 73-year-old son Charles automatically becomes monarch, even though the coronation might not take place for months. It is not known whether he will choose to call himself King Charles III or some other name.

Erdoğan met the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in 2018, the last day of his three-day official visit to the U.K.

Queen Elizabeth II demise, moments of greatest sadness – King Charles III.

Britain’s new King Charles on Thursday said the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II is a “moment of the greatest sadness” for him.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother,” Charles said in a statement.

“I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world,” the statement added.

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held,” said the new king.

Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss also paid tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday and offered loyalty to Charles III, the country’s new king.

Speaking to the press, Truss said: “Today the crown passes as it has done for more than 1000 years to our new monarch, our new head of state, His Majesty, King Charles III.”

“We offer him our loyalty and devotion just his mother devoted so much to so many for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words God save the King,” she added.

In a Twitter post, Truss said: “Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and flourished under her reign.”

“In the difficult days ahead, we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service,” she added.

The U.K. saw 15 prime ministers under Elizabeth’s long reign, from the stately but controversial Winston Churchill to the newest Conservative leader Liz Truss.

Earlier, Buckingham Palace announced that the queen “died peacefully” at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” a palace statement said.

Elizabeth II, 96, was the longest-serving monarch in British history

Anthems, money change as Charles III is made new England king.

Leave a comment

Britain’s new king will be formally known as Charles III, his Clarence House residence confirmed Thursday, after suggestions that Queen Elizabeth II’s heir might have taken a different regnal name.

Charles’s eldest son William inherits the duchy of Cornwall in addition to his current title of duke of Cambridge.

From the national anthem to notes, coins, stamps, postboxes and passports: Many aspects of life in Britain and beyond will change with the accession of Charles to the throne.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II means changes to the names of institutions throughout Britain and the wider Commonwealth realms.

Meanwhile, her effigy on currency and cipher on insignia will also be replaced with those of the new king.

The effigy of the new monarch will start to appear on coins and banknotes in Britain and around the world.

It appears on several currencies, including the obverse of coins of the East Caribbean dollar, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The British crown dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man all produce their own sterling, as do the overseas territories of Gibraltar, St. Helena and the Falkland Islands.

In 1936, during the 326-day reign of King Edward VIII, trial coins were struck but he abdicated before coins for public circulation were minted.

All British stamps feature the monarch’s head, like the coins, facing the other way from the previous sovereign.

The EIIR royal cipher, for Elizabeth II Regina, will have to change on new postboxes.

The insignia on police helmets will likewise change.

Britain’s national anthem switches to “God Save the King,” with male-version lyrics that may initially catch many people out as they have not been sung since 1952.

It is also a national anthem in New Zealand and the royal anthem in Australia and Canada.

The wording on the inside cover of British passports will have to be updated, as they are issued in the name of the crown.

They read: “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.”

Similar text appears inside Australian, Canadian and New Zealand passports.

The loyal toast to the head of state, said at formal gatherings, changes from simply “The Queen” to “The King.”

In the Channel Islands, the unofficial toast of “La reine, notre duc” – said in French and toasting the monarch as the duke of Normandy – changes to “le roi, notre duc.”

The names of Her Majesty’s government, Treasury and Customs and Excise will have to change.

The state opening of Parliament will feature the king’s speech from the throne, outlining the government’s agenda.

In the military, new recruits will no longer metaphorically take the queen’s shilling to sign up, adhere to the queen’s regulations once in the ranks or board one of Her Majesty’s ships.

The Queen’s Guard, typically seen posted outside Buckingham Palace, changes its name.

The police will no longer be preserving the queen’s peace.

In law, senior lawyers will change from being a QC (Queen’s Counsel) to a KC, while the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court also reverts to the king.

Suspects who admit guilt and testify against their accomplices in return for a lenient sentence will be turning king’s evidence rather than turning the queen’s.

Prisoners initially may be relieved to learn they are no longer being detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure but any joy will be short-lived as they continue their jail terms at His Majesty’s pleasure instead.

Her Majesty’s Theatre in London’s West End, where “The Phantom of the Opera” has been running since 1986, will revert to becoming His Majesty’s.

And speakers of Received Pronunciation, the poshest and most socially prestigious accent, will have to aspire to Charles’s vowels and diphthongs once the Queen’s English becomes the King’s English.

However, the Queen’s English itself changed over time. Comparisons of Queen Elizabeth’s earlier speeches with ones decades later showed that her accent became less plummy over time.

The United Kingdom’s new king, Charles, has described the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, as a moment of the greatest sadness, in a statement issued by Buckingham Palace.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world,” King Charles said on Thursday.

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the queen was so widely held.”

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-reigning royal and among the world’s longest-ruling monarchs in history, died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Buckingham Palace announced.

Charles, 73, automatically becomes king of the United Kingdom and the head of state of 14 other realms including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. His wife Camilla becomes queen consort.

News that the queen’s health was deteriorating emerged on Thursday when her doctors said she was under medical supervision, prompting her family to rush to be by her side at Balmoral.


The queen had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace has called “episodic mobility problems” since the end of last year, forcing her to withdraw from nearly all her public engagements.


Clarence House confirmed that the UK’s new monarch will be known as King Charles III.

British Prime Minister Liz Truss spoke to Charles after making a statement outside her Downing Street office to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth and call on the UK to unite around the country’s new monarch, her spokesman said.

Buckingham Palace said Charles and his wife Camilla, the queen consort, would remain at Balmoral Castle, where the queen died, before returning to London on Friday

The new monarch – born Charles Philip Arthur George at Buckingham Palace – will address the nation on Friday, his spokesman said, his first speech following the death of his mother.

Charles is the longest-serving heir apparent in British history. He has been heir to the throne since the age of just three, when his mother became Queen Elizabeth II after his grandfather King George VI died on February 6, 1952.

Charles has been outspoken on issues close to his heart, notably architecture, the environment, farming, faith and alternative medicine

His Prince’s Trust charity has helped more than one million unemployed and disadvantaged young people since its launch almost 50 years ago.

Charles has kept a relatively low profile in the realm of politics but in June, media reports emerged that he had been involved in a spat with the government over its policy on sending asylum seekers to Rwanda – something the prince was said to have called “appalling”, Reuters reported

Queen Elizabeth II of England dies at 96.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-reigning royal and among the world’s longest-ruling monarchs in history, has died at the age of 96.

The queen died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon,” it said in a statement.

“The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

Elizabeth’s eldest son Charles, 73, automatically becomes king of the United Kingdom and the head of state of 14 other realms including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. His wife Camilla becomes queen consort.

News that the queen’s health was deteriorating emerged on Thursday when her doctors said she was under medical supervision, prompting her family to rush to be by her side at Balmoral.

The queen had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace has called “episodic mobility problems” since the end of last year, forcing her to withdraw from nearly all her public engagements.

Prime Minister Liz Truss paid tribute to Elizabeth II and hailed the new monarch, King Charles III.

“Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and flourished under her reign,” she said.

“Today the crown passes as it has done for more than 1,000 years to our new monarch, our new head of state, His Majesty King Charles III,” she said, adding: “We must come together as a people to support him, to help him bear the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all.”

The 96-year-old marked her Platinum Jubilee on February 6 after ascending to the throne 70 years ago in 1952, following the death of her father King George VI.


Condolences from politicians and leaders around the world poured in as soon as news of her death emerged.

“As the United Kingdom’s longest-lived and longest-reigning Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II was widely admired for her grace, dignity, and dedication around the world,” said the UN’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

“She was a reassuring presence throughout decades of sweeping change, including the decolonisation of Africa and Asia and the evolution of the Commonwealth,”

European Council President Charles Michel spoke fondly of the queen’s “lasting values”.

“Our thoughts are with the royal family and all those who mourn Queen Elizabeth II in the UK and worldwide. Once called Elizabeth the Steadfast, she never failed to show us the importance of lasting values in a modern world with her service and commitment,” he said.


Elizabeth became monarch at a time when the UK still retained much of its old empire. It was emerging from the ravages of World War II, with food rationing still in force and class and privilege still dominant in society.

Winston Churchill was the UK’s prime minister at the time, Josef Stalin led the Soviet Union and the Korean War was raging.

In the decades that followed, Elizabeth witnessed massive political change and social upheaval at home and abroad. Her own family’s tribulations, most notably the divorce of Charles and his late first wife Diana, were played out in full public glare.

While remaining an enduring symbol of stability and continuity for Britons at a time of relative national economic decline, Elizabeth also tried to adapt the ancient institution of monarchy to the demands of the modern era.

“She has managed to modernise and evolve the monarchy like no other,” her grandson Prince William, who is now heir to the throne, said in a 2012 documentary
