Interesting question. I feel that 'God Save the Queen' is more of a British anthem. I think 'Land of Hope and Glory' should be the English anthem. Does anyone agree?

The song uses Queen or King depending on the sex of the monarch and always has.
When it was first written the words were "God Save Our King" - the king in question being George II.

Nothing will happen the words will change but the tune will not. A man can gracious especially in defeat.

Of course it will be the same, just with the word 'King' substituited for the current 'Queen'
If you get hold of an old CofE church or school hymn book (before 1953) you will find that they include 'God save the King'

yes, it will just change from "queen" to "king", and from "her" to "him" and end other appropriate changes.
