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]

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.

I'm not exactly sure but shouldn't this be capitalized? Or am I just illiterate? A-37Dragonfly ( talk) 03:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
The section on retirement honours makes no reference to awards of membership of the Order of Merit or the Order of the Companions of Honour which have been awarded to former prime ministers on or after retirement. Churchill, Attlee, Macmillan and Thatcher were made OM, and Major and Brown were appointed CH, all after they left office. Ulpian2499 ( talk) 10:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
