Google removes sweet royal cartoon from their maps following the Queen's death

A number of things have changed since the Queen died - most notably the UK now has a King for the first time in 70 years. But eagle-eyed royal fans have also noticed a much smaller change that's recently come into play on Google, which might disappoint some.

Google Maps no longer displays a popular feature created in honour of Queen Elizabeth II. The mapping service previously displayed a cartoon version of the Queen when users activated Street View around royal residences. But the feature has been quietly removed following the death of the late monarch on September 8, as Reddit users have pointed out.
