Thank god you remember that too. I was just saying it to friends and they all flatly denied it. Thought I was losing it.

Nope, you have a better memory than your friends. I've still got a couple of George VI coins that I saved when they started withdrawing them.

Leger races cancelled tomorrow

The words to the National Anthem have changed.
The full National Anthem will be played for King Charles III rather than the first few bars (6 or 8 can’t remember which).
Prince William is now 1st in line to the throne.

As a lawyer I’m quite excited about KCs (do QCs now automatically change their post nominal tomorrow? Or only if you’re appointed from now on?). And Queen’s Bench law reports become Kings Bench. All the HM services will have to rebrand from Her to His.

Seemslikeaniceday · 08/09/2022 22:41

William & Catherine become the Duke & Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge
Prince Williams income now comes from The Duchy of Cornwall.

Im sure there are many others.

The Quern is dead.
Long live the Kerng.

GiantKitten · 08/09/2022 22:42

The Cambridges are now the Cornwall-and-Cambridges

Hambledy · 08/09/2022 22:43

Ahahaha!

They all change at once, according to my late uncle who was a barrister - I remember asking him this as a child (sad nerd, that I was).

PizzaFunghi · 08/09/2022 22:43

evensong words changed - apparently during the service, according to some.

Hambledy · 08/09/2022 22:43

Damn, I was trying to quote @AlphaAlpha .

Seemslikeaniceday · 08/09/2022 22:45

I like KC rather than QC.

Ooo just thought of another, Civil Servants may “lose” the Queen’s Birthday Privilege Day by it being absorbed into their annual leave, new Civil Servant’s wouldn’t be entitled.

Imagine all the new Cash’s name tapes for the kids’ uniforms 😱

I've printed off a new promise for our incoming cubs

Kerrrmieee · 08/09/2022 22:46

I had the best laughs ever with my 25 year old son, whilst waggling a snake at our cat.

We hugged and kissed before he went to bed.

Our relationship has been more than tumultuous for 10 years.

lightisnotwhite · 08/09/2022 22:46

It feels like we’ve gone backwards to time saying King. I just associate it with periods of war. “F King and Country” etc.

Antarcticant · 08/09/2022 22:46

We will have to remember, in our half-drunk and bloated post-prandial Christmas haze, to shout 'It's time for the King!' at 3pm. And we will have to practise our humorous impersonations of Charles, instead of squeaking away like the Queen, while we pass the Quality Street and burp.

Passtheduchyonthelefthandside · 08/09/2022 22:46

Why is Prince William not the prince of Wales? I thought heir to the throne was given that title.

They must be so fed up as they've literally just named them all for their new Lambrook uniform! Some poor lady will have to see them all in again.

Imagine the poor Head - day bloody one and he gets The Phone Call.

MrsAvocet · 08/09/2022 22:48

Someone must be busy getting a new design for stamps ready to print. And post boxes. Presumably new ones will say CR on them?

Bumpsadaisie · 08/09/2022 22:48

Yes the head of lambrook is going to have to do the whole mourning thing at the same time as the new royal classmates thing!

It's not automatic, it has to be conferred.

He’ll have to have the title formally passed on and an investiture ceremony performed, I think.
