Example, the supreme court of Manitoba is now called "The Court of King's Bench" -- but the URL still says queen: https://www.manitobacourts.mb.ca/court-of-queens-bench/

Double takes abound. There should be a non-gendered form to use. "Court of Monarch's Bench" or something ;)

Government documents also typically say "Queen's Printer" on them. I always laughed at the idea that the Queen has some HP printer in her study that everyone is using. Guess they all need to say King's Printer now.
