Things that have already changed since the passing of HRH

[workiskillingme]

Just wondering if any many changes have happened anywhere in terms of businesses etc

Her or His Majesty is for the monarch. Her or His Royal Highness is a prince or princess (by birth or marriage).

"a life played on hard mode & without complaint"

What a brilliant phrase!

Already updated in our house, just ironing out the finer details to make it scan. Think George six has lost his six (none of the others had numbers), so Liz goes up a line 'And King Charles to complete the mix' is stretched a little.

Ooooft!

Genuinely think I've had an awakening on passions for postboxes like some strange interest/hobby 😂

TV schedules, I don't suppose 'Have I Got New For You' will be on.

The forthcoming series of The Crown may not be appropriate at the moment.

Another Post Box nerd here! I have got lots of friends into spotting too. Be quite exciting to see a King Charles Post Box (yup I need to get out more).

RIP Your Majesty and thank you for your service.

As the Duke of Cornwall, William is now entitled to any unclaimed estates (ie no wills, no heirs found) from Cornish dead. Along with lots of other Duchy of Cornwall money.

Bad news for Charles who loses this income stream, but he is also now the new Duke of Lancaster so will benefit from the same from dead Lancastrians.

Could be "king Charles three" maybe to make it scan?

Parliament goes six days a week (just announced that parliament is sitting tomorrow in part to allow senior members to take their new oath to the King).

I would check that if i were you @Aberration

As a fellow civil servant everyone should be getting an additional 1 day fir the Queen's Birthday.

Back in 2017 ( I think) there were 2.5 privilege days under review:
▪︎ 1 full day = Queen's birthday
▪︎ 0.5 half a day = Maunday Thursday
▪︎ 1 full day = I think this was a christmas/festive day.

They tried to remove all of them. They couldn't take the 1 day Queen's Birthday from us. The other 1.5 days was removed.

Even as a new starter, you should have been getting 1 day privilege day for the Queen's Birthday, if you're not I would be asking questions.

There's a thread about a QC, who is already now a KC on the firms website, and the address which had a -qc in it now seamlessly redirects to the -kc version. Someone very busy or just they had things set up ready to swap.

The Queen's birthday, which is called Privilege Day was granted by HMQ Elizabeth II and nothing or no one can remove it but her. The Govt tried to in 2014 but were unable to because it could only be removed by her and she didn't give her approval, so it continued to stand until yesterday.

What happens with it next isn't something either you or I can possibly predict, as it hasn't even been discussed for obvious reasons. I expect there are greater priorities at this time!

In my defence it takes up little more than half an hour every 20 years 😂 although I am quite excited to see a CR one.

9.2.4 states ”Unless separate arrangements have been authorised, departments and agencies must grant staff a holiday in recognition of the Queen’s Official Birthday on either the Friday preceding or the Tuesday after the Spring Bank Holiday.”

This implies some departments may have a different arrangements. So my statement was correct.

Sorry @Seemslikeaniceday, I shouldn't have quoted your post. I am in agreement with you.

My suggestions was for the poster to go and double check.

In my department, we do have separate arrangements as we do not have to take the Queen's Birthday privilege day on the Friday or Tuesday. We can take it anytime in the months of May and June.

I would find it strange if any Civil Servant has had the day removed from them.

Thanks, I agree any variation would be very unusual.

Going forward it will be a political decision. Given what is currently going on in the world it will be a low priority. However, I know it will be on the to do list before May 2023. Personally I don’t think the King would remove it.

Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer, QLTR, is a little known Scottish organisation that deals with ownerless property, such as treasure hoards and people who die without obvious heirs. It's a very interesting organisation, and the Crown Agent for Scotland is the head of it (he is also the Head of the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service).

I'm assuming their name will change, but for the people dealing with them regularly (not a lot of those, but a couple of my colleagues do) it will take a while to get used to saying KLTR instead of QLTR as it's usually referred to.

Another change

In his speech, the King created the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge (and Rothesay) as Prince and Princess of Wales

She will be generally known as “Kate Middleton” until she dies 🙄
Even though William is now Prince of Wales.

Princess Beatrice will now be a Counsellor of State. It’s the first four in line over 21 plus the spouse of the Monarch.

Oh my, @starbaby858 😭

😮 that needs to be changed pronto!

Why? It’s very rare that it’s needed so hardly an issue. They work in pairs anyway so anything involving her will include William (given that the other two are Harry and Andrew they’re not likely to be involved much):

Who else would it be? She’ll be replaced by George when he’s of age.

Naughty people are having a stay at 'his majesties pleasure'
