The King's new royal cypher has been unveiled as the official period of mourning the Queen has come to an end. The monogram, which the monarch personally selected from designs produced by the Royal College of Arms, will appear on post boxes, government buildings, state documents and other places throughout his reign.His Majesty's design features his first initial C intertwined with the letter R for Rex – Latin for King – with III within the R denoting Charles III, with the crown above the letters.

This is to replace his late mother's monogram EIIR, which stood for for Elizabeth II Regina - the Latin word for queen. The new monarch travelled to Scotland soon after his mother's funeral last Monday, with the period of royal mourning lasting for seven days after the late Queen’s burial.

A Scottish version features the Scottish Crown, and was approved by Lord Lyon King of Arms. It will be used by government departments and by the Royal Household for franking mail and the decision to replace cyphers will be at the discretion of individual organisations, reports Wales Online.

The process will be a gradual one and in some instances the cyphers of previous monarchs can still be seen on public buildings and street furniture especially post boxes.
