A Queen Forever

We've been thinking about this for a few weeks.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about King Charles.

But after Queen Elizabeth has been my queen for a whole life time - doesn't it feel a bit weird singing "God Save the King" and all that? We ended up with "God Save the Quing", and that can't be right.

And then there is the problem of all the service leaflets we've had printed off. Saying "Queen" and "Elizabeth". All to be changed to "King" and "Charles". When we all know Charles's actual title is "Prince." Are we going to reprint them all? Or cross out the old words and put the new ones in, in biro?

So we've come to a conclusion.

As far as the Beaker Folk are concerned, Queen Elizabeth II is our Queen Perpetual. Any successors will be holding the throne temporarily, in the short-term absence of the real possessor.

So God Save the Queen. And all those who sit on the throne on her behalf.
