No longer on display[edit]

Hey, so the article says the Queen's Beasts are on display in the Canadian Museum of History. I work for the Museum, and these artifacts have not been on exhibit since 2019. This section of the article should be modified to say the Museum has them in their collections. Thanks! The Raven's Librarian (talk) 12:15, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name change[edit]

Now that Queen Elizabeth II is dead, and Charles is now king, maybe The Queen's Beasts should be changed to The King's Beasts. Don't you think? Michael May II (talk) 22:22, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. They represent the genealogy of the late queen, not her son. --Killuminator (talk) 23:48, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
