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 ;)

Pretty much the same for me. The citizenship test booklet I used hadn't been updated yet, even though it was a fair bit after she'd passed. And in the ceremony, it was all about the king.

(Not to mention that it's super weird to affirm your allegiance to a monarch no matter what...)
