The King has been presented with the first banknotes bearing his portrait by the Governor of the Bank of England.
Although notes began to be issued from the late 17th century, Charles’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was the first British sovereign to be given the honour in 1960 on a £1 paper note. Before this, Britannia was the only character to have appeared. Charles expressed his admiration of the artistry, saying of the £5: “It’s a very good photograph of Sir Winston.” And he took a particular liking to the back of the £20 and the £50.. New notes will only be printed to replace worn-out ones and to meet any overall increase in demand in order to minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change – in keeping with the Royal Household’s request.
Ms John told the King they were the number 1 notes in the series and that the general public would start to see them early in June.Tuesday marked both happy and sad anniversaries for the King, falling on his and the Queen’s 19th wedding anniversary, and the third anniversary of the death of his father, Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh. It was also the 22nd anniversary of the funeral of Charles’s grandmother, the Queen Mother.
