      East Pavilion-er That’s a very real possibility. However even if the queen lives another 10 years, Charles will be 80 and he might still be around. Phillip is in his 90s. I mean they’ve got the best healthcare money can buy...

      If the Queen outlives Charles then we'll have the joy of watching William's hairline slowly recede on our coins and notes. Archaeologists in the future will be able to date the coins they find by how big his forehead has become.

    I expect King Charles banknotes will coexist for some time alongside the current ones, gradually becoming more common as worn notes are taken out of circulation. As for coins, while it's true that decimalisation killed off most of George VI coins, the one and two shilling coins remained in use (for 5p and 10p coins) alongside the new coins as they were the same size. I remember getting the occasional King George coins in change right up to the redesigned smaller coins came in. I believe the number of coins minted every year has been falling recently so it could be a very long time before the Elizabeth coins disappear. I wouldn't expect a large changeover event of the kind you get with notes.

    I used to work in Radio for the BBC... they have a procedure all set and ready to go for when this event happens, or when any significant Royal dies... the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, William and Harry. Everything from the script to the music played on the station has already been chosen as well as written obituaries. They have been ready for some time.

      The Armed Forces too have plans too for the death of a significant Royal. The Royals have been asked for their input etc. An example was when Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother died and we played all music chosen by her. The Pipe bands played a significant rôle as they were her favourite. Operation London Bridge is the name of one of the plans.

      @wendy kelly These things are considered personal affairs. So The Royals actually have a big influence on what is in the plans. They hand pick the music and what officials to invite or not to invite. When Princess Diana died, the Queen Mother's funeral arrangements were dusted and updated. Everybody's knees where shaking what the late Queen was going to say when she sees her own plans altered and when she realised that she had to come up with a new plan.

    I recently went to Thailand, and I did actually notice that there were different kings on different banknotes (and had heard of the previous king's recent death).

    I'm pretty sure the two florin coin survived decimalisation and continued as the 10p coin, alongside newer versions, until the early nineties. Some of those two florin coins still had King George VI's head on. I'd be grateful if somebody could confirm this. Thinking about it, I also think the old shilling coin survived until the early nineties, too, alongside newer 5p coins.

      He may not even choose "Charles" as his reigning name! Charles I and II have tainted the name through their conflicts with Parliament. It's not uncommon for monarchs to choose a different name from their "main" one to be known as when crowned. For instance, king Edward VIII was called David in private.
      Prince Charles' full name is Charles Philip Arthur George, so he has a few options to choose from! He might opt to become George VII instead of Charles III.

    • @princevesperal
      @princevesperal 4 ปีที่แล้ว +43

      @TheRenaissanceman65 I believe Edward VIII ought to count, as David was his "usual" name. That is the name his friends and relatives called him.
      This means that four out of the last seven British monarchs have been crowned under a name other than their usual one. It may not have been as common in the past, but it seems to have become rather normal in the past 200 years!
      I guess we'll only know Charles' decision in a few decades, when the Queen prematurely dies in a tragic accident at age 129.

    Old coins would be around for a long time. Even after decimalisation in the early 70s you could still find coins with King George VI on them as the old one shilling and two shilling coins were used as 5 and 10p coins. While rare they only completely disappeared when the new smaller 5 and 10p coins were introduced in the early 90s.

    • @Zerbey
      @Zerbey 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I was thinking this also, 10 and 5p coins from pre-decimalization stuck around until the early 1990s when they shrank the size of the coins. It was quite common to see George VI coins and very occasionally a George V one, I also have a few Victoria ones that my Mum gave me.

    Pre-decimal shilling coins were in circulation up until 1990 when the size of the 5p coin was changed. George VI coins were common; even Queen Victoria coins would pop up occasionally. I remember once finding a William IV coin, issued more than 150 years before, which would still have been legal tender until 1990.

In the end it turned out that the people were very happy with the system. The democratic way of government it keeps a lid on, and the economic prosperity that most people can enjoy under it... So they bothered to show up and cast their votes to support the continuation of the monarchy.

    There's a mistake at 1:52 - the half-penny shown is a decimal one. The pre-decimal ones are much larger. The half-penny was kept in the decimal system to allow more accurate conversions from pre-decimal coinage, but were quickly phased out.

    • @dieseldragon6756
      @dieseldragon6756 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think this was to ensure forward-compatibility for the half crown, which (Converting to decimal) was worth 12,5p.
      As it would’ve been wholly impractical to demonetise/withdraw the half crown on D-Day (And result in a lot of peed-off shoppers!) providing a way it could continue to be used and then taking them out of circulation at banks and post offices was a much more sensible way to go about it. 👍🏽
      The 0,5p coin was eventually withdrawn in 1982, but the Royal Mint coin set for 1983 (Designed before the coin was withdrawn) still had a 0,5p coin in it. 🙂

    Just a quick add on for you... When the Charles the Prince of Wales takes the throne, he doesn't have to take the name Charles with him. That's why Monarchs have two Birthdays. Their own and then their coronation, in which you can take a new name. If he did, he'd be HRH King Charles III or he could take the name George, in which case he'd be HRH King George VII. And so on, and so forth.
