King Charles & Queen Camilla Reveal New Joint Cypher Featuring Their Initials

Meanwhile, the Sovereign’s monogram (shown below) includes an image of the crown, the initials of his name, Charles, and his title, Rex. The symbol “III” also sits inside the letter "R." According to the royal website, it was created by the palace's heraldry experts, the College of Arms, and it will appear on government buildings, state documents and post boxes.

The unveiling of King Charles and Queen Camilla's joint emblem marks the first time in 70 years that the Ascot horseracing event will carry a new cypher. It replaced the late Queen Elizabeth's official royal emblem, which showed the letters “ERII.” (The “R” also stands for “Regina.”)

Before her passing in 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth was quite involved with the Royal Ascot, thanks to her life-long passion for horse racing. This year, the event paid a special tribute to the late queen by renaming a race after her. From now on, the Platinum Jubilee Stakes will be known as the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.

Here's to the new royal era.
