It will gradually replace the ‘EIIR’ monogram of Queen Elizabeth II, who died aged 96 after 70 years on the throne.
The official monogram of Britain’s King Charles III — which will appear, among other things, on government buildings and traditional red mailboxes — was unveiled by Buckingham Palace on Monday.
The monogram, chosen by the new monarch from a series of designs prepared by the College of Arms, is a combination of the letters C and R representing Charles’ name (Charles, in English) and the title King (Rex, in Latin ) below the depiction of the crown.
It will gradually replace the ‘EIIR’ monogram of Queen Elizabeth II, who died aged 96 after 70 years on the throne.
“The decision to replace monograms is at the discretion of individual organizations and the process will be gradual,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The Royal Mail at Buckingham Palace will start using the new monogram from today.
