The United Kingdom will witness the issuance of the first British passports bearing the title “His Majesty” this week. However, it is important to note that the current King himself will not possess one of these passports.

This marks the first instance since 1952, at the end of the reign of the last male monarch, King George VI, that British passports will be issued under the title “His Majesty.”
