Wordle of the Week – God Save The Queen

Kamal Prashar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:34:44 +0000

“God Save the Queen”, or “God Save the King”, is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms. It is the national anthem of the United Kingdom, Norfolk Island, one of the two national anthems of the Cayman Islands and New Zealand (since 1977) and the royal anthem of Canada (since 1980), Australia (since 1984), the Isle of Man, Belize, Jamaica, and Tuvalu.

In Britain, the Queen (or King) is saluted with the entire anthem, while other members of the royal family who are entitled to royal salute (such as the Prince of Wales) receive just the first six bars. The first six bars also form part of the Vice Regal Salute in some Commonwealth realms outside the United Kingdom (e.g., in Canada, governors general and lieutenant governors are saluted with the first six bars of “God Save the Queen”, followed by the first four and last four bars of “O Canada”). The words of the song, like its title, are adapted to the gender of monarch, with “King” replacing “Queen”, “he” replacing “she”, and so forth, when a king reigns.
