It's not a popularity contest for people to vote for what they like best. This isn't American Idol.
It was King and changed to Queen when Elizabeth ascended to the throne. If it's a guy, its King. If it's a woman it's Queen. Period. End of story.
Indifferent. Whenever I heard the saying "God save the Queen" I always thought about the Sex Pistols song about the Queen, not the Queen.
u No feelings one way or the other. I imagine the British will adapt quickly.
Here in the US the words will still be:
My country tis of thee
Sweet Land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Etc
It doesn't matter.
On another note, If the late Queen's and the current king's gender were reversed you wouldn't have asked.

In what way could anybody think it wouldn't? It changes as to whether there is a reigning King or Queen for gawds sake. As for olden days we just have to go back 71 years as to when it was last God Save The King. Hardly olden days.
No average person living in Uk has ever sang that song. And if they ever so happened to do probably a forced thing in school once that nobody cared about.
I was so shocked when I found out the died. I watched a video about how she escaped 4 murder attempts and just a few hours later my older sister told us she died on the same day.
s I like Queen not only because it sounds better but also because I like seeing a woman in a charge of a country.
But now the British have a king, so it no longer makes sense.
You know come January how it takes you a while to stop writing last years year in dates? I reckon there's going to be a lot of slip ups
Does it matter that much to some?
Because it doesn't to me.
I don't really have the reason that makes it so.
For gender equality we MUST find a new word :D
To fit into the hymn, we are restricted to one syllable only.
That's tough.
How about ''Quing'' or Keen" ?
I prefer God save the Queen, only because that's what I grew up with, she's been Queen all my life. Just sounds weird to me now.
I mean it would make no sense to say god save the queen when they gots no queen at the moment
Cucky Charli did he not notice the queue of men outside Diana's room?
It is what it is. Queens have been better monarchs though and live longer.
What is there to feel? Now there's a king, after 70 years with a queen.
Maybe the Sex Pistols will have to change the name of their song though.
We still have our queen in Denmark. Here we quote her saying "God Save Denmark" rather than praising her.
Queen does sound better, but of course, it wouldn't make any sense now.
That’s the way it’s always been done if it’s a king it’s “God save the King” and vice versa big deal
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Kathy Bates?
Nice. All hail king Chucky!

Who cares I live in the US.
