French origin?

This page on ouest-france claims a French origin to the song: https://www.ouest-france.fr/leditiondusoir/2018-05-15/quelle-est-lorigine-de-lhymne-britannique-god-save-the-queen-75a8d461-efbe-47f9-be26-fd59bdb2c7da It's not well sourced, but neither is the article here. It says Handel heard it while in France, and brought it to the UK after. There is a wikipedia article which seems to be the same song Domine_salvum_fac_regem but with a latin title, not french. That page mentions this song as being inspired by that one, but again no sources. 178.139.170.133 (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update Citation

The current British Royal Family website for the national anthem is an archive and takes a long time to load. I suggest adding the current, on-archived one at https://www.royal.uk/national-anthem. StrawWord298944 (talk) 19:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@StrawWord298944 - Which citation is it? i.e. What number is it? DDMS123 (talk) 20:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I’ve been away for a few days. Number 22. It can be found at the end of the lyrics for the anthem under the section “Use in the United Kingdom”. StrawWord298944 (talk) 19:39, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@StrawWord298944 - When I click on citation 22, it goes straight to the royal.uk website. For me, it's not an archive. DDMS123 (talk) 20:56, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't n22, it was n1 that was the problem. I've fixed it (I hope). GrindtXX (talk) 21:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was in a haste and saw a citation that said "royal.uk" and "The National Anthem". StrawWord298944 (talk) 19:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Minor suggestion

"when British monarch is female" - it should say "when *the* British monarch is female". I can't edit it myself because this page is protected. Thanks 83.29.39.253 (talk) 16:50, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
