In September 2022, Cambridge University Press, The King's Printer, published Special Forms of Service in commemoration of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. These Forms of Service were approved by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and were authorised for use in the Church of England during the nation’s official period of mourning.

Peter Phillips, Chief Executive of Cambridge University Press & Assessment said: "Colleagues from Cambridge University Press & Assessment worldwide joined with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in offering sincere condolences to the Royal Family upon the announcement of the sad news of the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

"Cambridge University Press was privileged to have been The Queen’s Printer since 1990, and we were honoured to have been asked to publish the Special Forms of Service that were used by clergy in many church and cathedral services of commemoration during the country’s period of national mourning."
