Reply to comment by obitarian in TIL: The Government of Canada has an office that creates coats of arms for Canadian citizens, and that all Canadian Citizens may apply to the Governor General for a coat of arms and even an officially-recognized personal flag by ryguy_1

It's just a digital portrait. You can have them mail you one on gloss paper, but you'd have to frame it yourself.

Looks like the official website hasn't yet been updated for King Charles. I bet that will change after his coronation. I suppose anything is better than an NFT...

I wonder if they still send out photos of The Queen, or if now they will just wait until they have an official photo of King Charles.

I visited the official Buckingham Palace shop last month in England. Approximately everything there is still focusing on the Queen. I expect that to change in connection with the coronation.

Gotta clear out the old stock.

Probably waiting till after his coronation to get him in all the regalia and stuff.

My new passport still references her Majesty the Queen

She's wearing broaches with Canadian symbols. That means she had to wear different ones for every realm!!

I don't believe in the Monarchy but I still miss her. Feels kind of like a 'national mother'.

That's kind of the image she portrayed. She was the continuity for the people, regardless of political infighting and disagreements. I can only hope that Charles and his successors live up to that image.
