God Save The King: Lyrics for Britain’s New National Anthem

The sudden but peaceful death of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday produced a butterfly effect on various aspects of British society.

As plans for changes to the United Kingdom’s money and stamps are drawn up, one of the biggest changes will be the country’s national anthem.

The song synonymous with “God Save The Queen” is best known for being performed and sung patriotically before events such as sporting events.

Following the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, the Queen’s first son and heir to the throne Prince Charles has since been named king.

At the same time, His Majesty’s wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, was given the title of Queen Consort – which forced a major change in the much-loved British national anthem.
