King Charles' Tudor Crown Replaces Queen Elizabeth's Insignia on UK Government Website
The change, marking a symbolic shift in the monarchy, is part of a broader update of royal symbols across official channels.
- King Charles III's preferred Tudor Crown symbol has replaced Queen Elizabeth II's insignia on the UK government's website, signaling a new era.
- The rebranding, expected to be completed by March 1, extends to post boxes, police uniforms, and other government channels.
- Funding for the logo change on the gov.uk site comes from the website's usual operating costs, according to Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden.
- The Tudor Crown, chosen by King Charles for his royal cypher, reflects a departure from the late Queen’s St Edward’s Crown.
- The transition to King Charles' insignia on currency, official documents, and royal uniforms is ongoing, with significant updates already in place.
