How much will it cost the country when the Queen hands her notice in?

Changing money (and how long does the old money remain valid for)

Stamps

Other stuff…

And is there a possibility she has remained in power all these years simply because of what it would cost?

confused

The cost has prevented her from dying?

No. She is a loyal servant of this country and swore she would serve until she died. She is doing this.

I don't think it makes any difference. If postage if 50p and you've paid 50p for a stamp, it doesn't matter whose head is on it. QE2 will gradually fade out and KC3 will gradually fade in.

As above, if it is phased in I don't see any great cost all - probably less than HM Govt wastes before Monday coffee-time.

Just be grateful you don't have Gordon Brown's ugly mug on everything :shudder:

Also...what are the chances of Charles actually becoming King??

Surely he'll be advised to turn it down because the cost of him becoming King for what could a short while would be enormous?

Make it £20. If only cos he's wants to 'get out' before Harrys DNA paternity test result come back.

Though Diana's sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, is also a thick-haired ginga with the same peeky eyes as Harry. But let's not let family genes get in the way of a good bit of gossip biggrin

If his mother dies before he does, 100%.

It's never been an issue before. I find the question quite silly. If the cost to change monarchs was 'prohibitive' we'd still have King Ethelred the Unready.

It would, however, save the country a bloody fortune if the House of Commons and all the politcians were disbanded and made unemployed, and the monarch made the decisions as a benevolent dictator.

We do, but he changed his first name to Gordon.
