The 16 Most Surprising Royal Changes Since Queen Elizabeth’s Passing
A Regal Travel Update
British passports have officially joined the royal rebrand. Since July 2023, newly issued passports now read “His Majesty” instead of “Her Majesty,” ending a 70-year era of Queen Elizabeth’s name printed inside millions of travel documents. Most Brits have never held a passport without her title, so this update feels surprisingly personal.
Older passports are still valid until they expire. The switch comes only a few years after the UK brought back the classic blue cover post-Brexit, so travelers are definitely noticing the changes. King Charles doesn’t need a passport at all, since every British passport is technically issued in his name. Now that’s VIP status!
