The UK has a new monarch taking the throne and changes are going to occur. When a new monarch is crowned how many of us are truly aware of the decisions they will make and the impact they will have?
Most of us have only ever had a Queen in our life time, so we are clueless as to what happens next. We have grown used to the Queen appearing on things like money, stamps, postboxes and much more. All of that will change with the arrival of King Charles III – our new monarch.
When it comes to the changing face of money, the Bank of England website explains “The [new] notes are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024. His majesty’s portrait will appear on existing designs of all four polymer banknotes (£5, £10, £20 and £50) This will be a continuation of the current polymer series and no additional changes to the banknote designs will be made.”
There may be more changes to England and especially the differences with the money in our pockets but one thing remains: the kingdom all unites behind one slightly altered phrase “God save the king!”
