The first Christmas without a Queen: what changed in England after the death of Elizabeth II

Elizabeth II ruled the country for more than 70 years. The world is so used to this idea that with the death of the Queen of Great Britain it was necessary to realize that it will not be the same.

For England, the upheaval is particularly strong: people will have to unlearn the painfully familiar silhouette on national symbols. And not only that.

The first Christmas without Elizabeth II

Millions of English people have listened to Elizabeth II’s Christmas greetings for decades, year after year. 2022 will be the first year without Her Majesty. Buckingham Palace has released a Christmas card for the first time that does not feature the Queen, but her son, now King Charles III. with his wife Camilla. Britain is getting used to it.

Flags

The UK will have to replace thousands of flags across the country, all bearing the royal monogram EIIR (Elizabeth II Regina). Military uniforms, like fire flags, are also subject to change.

It is possible that the royal standard, the four-part flag that can be seen wherever the monarch’s residence is located, will also change.

Royal coat of arms

The coat of arms, which depicts a lion and unicorn against a shield, can be seen almost everywhere – from government institutions to stationery. If Charles III. decides to make changes to the royal coat of arms (and he has the right to do so) they will cost Britain a pretty penny.

Banknotes and coins

Over £80 billion worth of notes and coins will be exchanged in the country over the next few years as they feature Elizabeth II. So by 2025, people in the UK will be paying with money bearing the likeness of Charles III.

National anthem

Of course, everyone knows the line from the hymn “God Save the Queen”. First of all, he went through changes. Now instead of “God Save Our Gracious Queen” it reads “God Save Our Gracious King.” Although it will take a long time for the masses to get used to the new words.

Mailboxes and stamps

It is said that Royal Mail letterboxes with the ER monogram of Elizabeth II are unlikely to be dismantled, as some still stand with the GR monogram of King George VI. However, the brands will absolutely change – now they will be with the profile of the new monarch.

Prayers

Yes, yes, the prayers are dedicated to Elizabeth II. The late Queen was therefore the “Guardian of the Faith and Supreme Ruler” of the Church of England. Most likely the prayers will be modified to become Charles III prayers from now on.
