How the national anthem has changed now our monarch is King Charles III

The words to the National Anthem have changed to “God save our gracious King".

Following our national tradition where we have sung 'she' and 'her' for the last 70 years we will now sing 'him' and 'he'. This is a matter of tradition, not law.

Following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 and the announcement that her son will be known as King Charles III the national anthem is one of many changes the country will soon be getting used to.

All of the Queen's children, King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward, rushed to be by her side. Prince William and Prince Harry, made the journey to Scotland while Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, remained with her and William's children. Meghan is thought to have remained in London.

Other changes will include stamps and coins and notes.

The national anthem will now be:

God save our gracious King,Long live our noble King,God save the King!Send him victorious,Happy and glorious,Long to reign over us,God save the King!

O Lord our God arise,Scatter our enemies,And make them fall!Confound their politics,Frustrate their knavish tricks,On Thee our hopes we fix,God save us all!

Not in this land alone,But be God’s mercies known,From shore to shore!Lord make the nations see,That men should brothers be,And form one family,The wide world o’er.

From every latent foe,From the assassins blow,God save the KingO’er him thine arm extend,For Britain’s sake defend,Our father, prince, and friend,God save the King!

Thy choicest gifts in store,On him be pleased to pour,Long may he reign!May he defend our laws,And ever give us cause,To sing with heart and voice,God save the
