Example, the supreme court of Manitoba is now called “The Court of King’s Bench” – but the URL still says queen: https://www.manitobacourts.mb.ca/court-of-queens-bench/

Double takes abound. There should be a non-gendered form to use. “Court of Monarch’s Bench” or something ;)

    I became a citizen this month after applying back when we still had a Queen and I got tripped up when saying the oath due to this—I’m on my 30s, there’s been a Queen forever, I’m not used to having a King. I’m sure I’ll get used to it at some point but man that felt weird.

      Pretty much the same for me. The citizenship test booklet I used hadn’t been updated yet, even though it was a fair bit after she’d passed. And in the ceremony, it was all about the king.

      (Not to mention that it’s super weird to affirm your allegiance to a monarch no matter what…)
