The 16 Most Surprising Royal Changes Since Queen Elizabeth’s Passing
Citizenship Gets a Royal Twist
Becoming British now comes with a royal update. Since Queen Elizabeth’s passing, anyone attending a UK citizenship ceremony must swear allegiance to King Charles III instead. It’s a small but meaningful switch that marks the start of a new royal era.
New citizens aged 18 and over still stand, smile, and say the official oath out loud, but now it’s Charles’s name they pledge to. The wording may be formal, but the moment feels deeply personal for many, especially for those who grew up only knowing Queen Elizabeth as the head of state. The change also applies in many Commonwealth countries, so the impact goes well beyond the UK.
