Royal premiere
First letterbox with Charles’ monogram unveiled
For the first time, the monogram of King Charles III is emblazoned on one of the famous red letterboxes in Great Britain. Pupils from an elementary school in Great Cambourne near Cambridge posted handwritten letters to the monarch at the inauguration.
The sign consists of the letters "C" for Charles and "R" for Rex, the Latin word for king, as well as the Roman numeral "III". A Tudor crown is enthroned above it.
The very first letterbox with Charles' monogram
Charles has been British King since the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Nevertheless, the "red letter boxes" bear the monogram of the long-term regent.
New letterboxes have already been installed since the change of throne. However, prepared copies with Elizabeth's monogram "E II R" were used to prevent waste.
New logo in honor of the king
The Royal Mail also changed its logo in honor of the King. The sign with the yellow, double-lined lettering shows the King's round Tudor crown instead of the domed St. Edward's crown used by the late Queen. The King's monogram will also replace that of his mother on thousands of Royal Mail vehicles.
Scotland is an exception: here, the Royal Mail has only used the St. Andrew's crown since 1955.
