ROYALTY

Königliche Symbole die geändert werden

By Duncan Mil

September 9, 2022 - Das Konterfei von Queen Elizabeth II und Ikonographie sind ein komplexer Bestandteil des nationalen Lebens in UK und im ganzen Commonwealth. Einige Dinge werden rasch zu ändern sein, andere werden lange brauchen, sie sind Ikonen der Monarchie.

Leading barristers have become King’s Counsel (KC) rather than Queen’s Counsel (QC) following the Queen’s death, the Bar Council has announced.

Bar Council chairman Mark Fenhalls used the KC initials in a statement issued after the Queen’s death at 96 on Thursday afternoon, saying the change was immediate.

Chief Justice Dame Helen Winkelmann announced the switch to King’s Counsels in New Zealand. Senior court announcements will now refer to “The King’s Judge”.

From the flags that fly outside police stations across the country to military “Queen’s colours,” the “EIIR” will need to be replaced. The royal standard -- the flag that flies wherever the monarch is in residence -- could also be modified to include a reference to Wales. The current version includes Scotland, Ireland and two representations for England.

Putting King Charles III’s portrait on more than four billion banknotes will take around two years, while coins will take longer.

Other icons will remain. Royal Mail postboxes bearing Queen Elizabeth’s cypher, ER, are unlikely to be removed -- postboxes with King George VI’s GR cypher remain in use today, seven decades later.
