Yes. God Save the King was simply changed to God Save The Queen when she took the throne. It will now revert back.

on a similar note. interesting how many things will have to be changed. I am sure they will do this gradually but the list is long, from post boxes, to coat of arms (potentially)

Post boxes are almost redundant now, but in Ireland they still use many pre-independence ones with royal insignia, they just painted them green instead of red.

Cheers, I honestly didn't know that that had happened with the existing anthem.

Considering Charles is already in his 70's, it makes you wonder if it's really going to be worth the cost and effort of making all the changes.

Well, unless Charles' son and heir has a sex change between now and the passing of Charles they won't be changing from King to Queen again for the foreseeable future

I was thinking more of changing the portraits on the money and ERII emblem which you see associated with so many things.

But they were all appointed as QC's, are you sure they change? Certainly new silks will be KC's.

All those brass and wooden plaques, stationery and business cards. Great time for printers etc.
