The full redesign, coming into effect from December, will be the first since passports turned dark blue after Brexit.
Shame they aren’t changing them back to burgundy whilst they’re at it.
Pointless pageantry, but whatever floats his royal boat.
In all fairness, I don’t think he really cares considering he cant have a passport in the first place.
I honestly don’t know how that works. Does he even require one?
He just waves a freshly minted 50 as he walks through passport control.
“You see this 50 quid note? That’s my face on it. Questions? No? Good.”
“Hello, old chap. I wonder, have you met my Navy?”
Since all British passports are issued in the name of the Sovereign and he has the Crown he just sort of waves a hand and other countries pretend that’s alright since he can’t really holiday to the south of France.
Yeah, it’s more about updating to the current emblems, which would happen anyway. Sounds like they are updating the passports and doing this at the same time. If the King was that bothered he would have made them change it when they altered the text from “her majesty” to “his majesty”.
Fuck off and make them red again.
As ever, having a monarchy is absurd.
