Royal Anthem

Information about Royal Anthem

A royal anthem is a patriotic song, much like a national anthem but specifically praising, or praying for, a monarch or royal dynasty. Such anthems are usually performed at public appearances by the monarch or during other events of royal importance. Some countries have the royal anthem be the national anthem as well; others keep them separate.

Examples

Royal anthems include:

"God Save the Queen", the royal anthem in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and some of the other Commonwealth Realms. In the United Kingdom it also serves as the national anthem. In New Zealand, both "God Save the Queen" and "God Defend New Zealand" are official national anthems, although "God Save the Queen" is used only when the Queen or another member of the Royal Family is present.
"Kungssången", "The King's Song", the Swedish royal anthem.
"Kong Kristian", "King Christian", the Danish royal anthem.
"Marcha Real", "Royal March", the national and royal anthem of Spain.
"Phleng Sansoen Phra Barami", the royal anthem of Thailand.
"Kongesangen", Norway's royal anthem. It is an adaptation of "God Save the Queen" and set to the same tune.
"Боже, Царя храни", translated as "God Save the Tsar" or more literally as "God, Keep the Tsar", the national anthem of the Russian Empire until 1917. It is still used in some circles of the Russian diaspora.
"Bože pravde", an earlier version of the Anthem of Serbia during the Kingdom, glorifying the King.
"Ubavoj nam Crnoj Gori", an anthem of old Regal Montenegro glorifying the Prince (and later, the King).
"Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser", an anthem of the former Austria-Hungary empire.
