£115,000 perpetual funding (2022 figure).[edit]

There is no mention of the £115,000 funding provided to ex-prime ministers in the article. Can a confirmed user take a look at https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/02/effigy-liz-truss-lettuce-burned-edenbridge-bonfire-night thanks 92.9.42.182 (talk) 15:27, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To change Queen references to King[edit]

This article still refers to the monarch as queen. I believe it can already be updated. 177.133.49.204 Marcelo Meirelesmsg

@Marcelo Meireles: :The only uses of the word "Queen" which I can find are:
Have you found other uses in the article? Bazza (talk) 13:06, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Government coat of arms change[edit]

There has been some disagreement on this page as to whether the coat of arms should change to using the Tudor Crown. It has already been accepted that this is the case on most other articles relating to the British government, and I would direct people to take a look at the talk page for talk:Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom where this has already been discussed.

As for evidence, I would encourage people to look at the website for the College of Arms which states that "It is envisaged that the form of the Crown seen in the new cypher will be adopted as the form used in representations of the Royal Arms", also noting that "the new cypher and new rendering of the Crown will be introduced gradually".[1] The continued use of St Edward's Crown in some instances is therefore not evidence that the new crown has not been adopted. Furthermore, the Tudor crown has already appeared in recent letters patent[2] and in official invitations to the upcoming coronation[3]

@DanielMichaelPerry: Which bit of the "D" in WP:BRD is causing you a problem? You ought to give a bit more time for people to read the extensive talk page you linked to above, digest what it says, then respond here before unilaterally imposing your preference.

Thank you for linking this. Was not aware of this process.

The House of Lords once again has a former prime minister member[edit]

The last paragraph on the retirement honours states that no former prime minister is member of the house of lords as of this year. This is (or will very soon be, I'm unclear on the official timeline) no longer the case.
