Why God Save The King And Not Queen? by Sammy07: 8:10pm On Sep 08, 2022
I read some comments on the front page minutes ago.

I usually think they can only have Queens at the realms of affairs in England. Because almost all their monarchs are Queens and they are either Elizabeth or Victoria.

Can anyone explain why they'll change it motto to God save the kind and why a Prince will take over?

The kingdom’s anthem is always changed to conform with the gender of the monarch.

They've had more Kings than queens. What of king James, King Henry, king George, king William, many, many kings. And they say God save the queen too. It depends on the gender of the monarch.

After the death of her father King George VI before the queen's accession in 1952, the anthem was sung as "God save the King". After she took over, it was "God save the Queen".

Now that Charles has taken over, it will revert to "God save the King".
