It becomes "God Save the King." The only changes made to the anthem are when the monarch who was a queen/king is replaced by a sovereign of the other gender.That is when a queen regnant dies and her heir is her son,the words "queen" and "her" and the like are replaced by "king," "him," and the like to suit the gender of the sovereign.

It'll become God save the King.

What do you think they did when it changed from a King to a Queen before? Did you think the anthem was written in Elizabeth II's time?

It will become God save the King as it was before Elizabeth became Queen

Yes,

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. In the United Kingdom, the last line of the third verse is also changed

(I don't think Charlie would want to be called Charlene)

hope this helps

The National anthem will not significantly just change "Queen" to "King" and "her" to "him"

Well, the SNP would like "Flower of Scotland"!

Seriously, "God Save the Queen" will change to "God Save the King".

1. God save our gracious King,

Long live our noble King,

God save the King!

Send his victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us;

God save the King!

2. O Lord our God arise,

Scatter his enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all!

3. Thy choicest gifts in store

On him be pleased to pour;

Long may he reign;

May he defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the King!

4. Not in this land alone,

But be God's mercies known,

From shore to shore!

Lord make the nations see,

That men should brothers be,

And form one family,

The wide world over.

5. From every latent foe,

From the assassins blow,

God save the King!

O'er him thine arm extend,

For Britain's sake defend,

Our father, prince, and friend,

God save the King!

6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade

May by thy mighty aid

Victory bring.

May he sedition hush,

And like a torrent rush,

Rebellious Scots to crush.

God save the King!
