Background
'Rule Britannia' as a national anthem represents the people more. 'God save the king/queen' is an old traditional anthem which doesn't represent the British people, ideals and freedoms we have as a proud nation.
Not only that but the anthem has better sounding lyrics and appealing to the ear. There is only benefit to come with this simple change
