Cinema addresses concerns over name following Queen's death with blunt sign

As the world attempts to come to terms with the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier this week, a number of other big changes have already come into place within the Royal Family. Prince Charles has been proclaimed our monarch, becoming King Charles III. Prince William and Kate Middleton have also been given new titles, being made the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Unsurprisingly, these changes have sparked curiosity online as many people can't help wondering whether businesses named after the royals will also change their names. One independent business, in particular, has already been plagued with questions about their name and if they'll soon be called something else - and they had a hilarious response.

For the latest updates as the world mourns the Queen and King Charles III's reign begins, follow our live blog.

The Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Place, London, has reportedly posted a blunt note on their front door in answer to whether they would become The King Charles Cinema.

Lots of people had suggested they change their name to honour King Charles, with one also proposing they become the Prince William Cinema.

In response, the cinema's amusing message, stuck haphazardly on the glass door, simply reads: "No, we are not changing our name."

A photo of the sign was shared on Twitter by a user named @charlubby and it quickly garnered over 15,00 likes and hundreds of retweets.

Many people have responded to the tweet share their amusement, with one person branding it "amazing."

Another who found it funny said: "LMAO."

Someone else couldn't help but joke: "How very cavalier of them."

A different user posted a string of laughing emojis, adding: "Fair enough!!"

A few were supportive of the decision, with a fifth saying: "Don't rebrand. Tell everyone you're named after a different Prince Charles."

The Mirror has contacted the Prince Charles Cinema for comment.

Do you think they should change their name? Let us know in the comments below.
