A man is furious his new passport still says Queen Elizabeth is head of state – which is a "disgusting total insult to her memory and the King". Ian Thompsett, 45, paid £88 to renew his passport earlier this month and was excited when it was delivered in just two weeks.
But his joy soon turned to disappointment when he opened the first page to see it refer to “Her Britannic Majesty” and “Her Majesty” instead of “His Majesty” – which he believes “disrespects” Charles’ ascension to the throne.
The father-of-three – who says he is not an ardent royalist – was so shocked by the “lax” outdated language he thought he might have been tricked into buying a fake. He has now called on the Government to update all passports to ensure “the King’s reign is respected”.
