Royal Mail comments: To minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change of
monarch, existing stocks of definitive stamps that feature Her Late
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be distributed and issued as planned and
will remain valid for use in line with our recent transition to
barcodes on definitive stamps.
In this same period of transition, it should be remembered, we are in want of an Archbishop of Canterbury, the previous incumbent – who crowned our new monarch – having been found wanting.
So though we are at present inconvenienced by an Anglican interregnum (lower case) it may be said that King Charles III is mercifully not troubled by an Interregnum (capitalised), that unfortunate period in the history of his forebears, which bloodied his realm between the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the Restoration of Charles II in 1660.
