WHEREAS it is provided by section 1(7) of the Church of England (Worship and Doctrine) Measure 1974 that in the prayers for or referring to the Sovereign or other members of the Royal Family contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England, the names may be altered, and any other necessary alterations made, from time to time as the circumstances require by Royal Warrant, and those prayers as so altered shall be used thereafter:

NOW, therefore, WE by this Our Royal Warrant declare Our Will and Pleasure as follows:

That in every prayer for or referring to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England instead of the word “Queen” the word “King”, instead of the word “Elizabeth” the word “Charles” and instead of the words “Sovereign Lady” the words “Sovereign Lord” be inserted;

That in every prayer for the Royal Family contained in any form of service authorised for use in the Church of England, instead of the words “Philip Duke of Edinburgh, Charles Prince of Wales” the words “Camilla the Queen Consort, William Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales” be inserted; and

That in all prayers so altered, such change of the pronouns “She” and “Her” be made as will by those alterations be rendered necessary.
