Yes in fact it was originally written as King before being changed 70 years ago so now it changes back.
But I don’t expect it to be sung with nearly as much fervor as it had been the last 70 years

@wonkywinky Does King Charles really inspire the people the same way she did?

@TAReturns i guess not,hes affable and nice but he doesnt have that intangible commanding quality of his mother.but he is the king and i must give my liege to him as a citizen of gb.
