The 16 Most Surprising Royal Changes Since Queen Elizabeth’s Passing
When Queen Elizabeth II deceased in September 2022, the world lost not just a monarch but a constant. For over 70 years, she anchored Britain through wars, weddings, scandals, and state dinners. But once the crown shifted to King Charles, so did everything else.
From political shifts and royal reshuffles to surprising public reactions, the ripple effect of her passing is still unfolding. Some changes were expected, others not so much, and a few have taken everyone by surprise. Whether you’re a royal watcher or just love a good before-and-after, here’s what’s different in the UK (and beyond) since Queen Elizabeth departed.
The Palace Menu Goes Green
Dining at the palace isn’t what it used to be. Since Charles took over, the royal menu has gone through a quiet transformation. One of his first moves was banning foie gras from all royal residences. The controversial delicacy, made from force-fed ducks or geese, is officially off the table.
Charles, who has long embraced organic farming and eco-friendly eating, has also promoted cutting back on meat and dairy. He reportedly avoids meat and fish two days a week, and skips dairy on another. Even the coronation dish was a vegetarian quiche. The new royal food vibe is more sustainable, plant-based, and a lot less old-school indulgence.
