Royal Mail Unveils First Postbox Featuring King Charles III's Cypher

The new postbox in Great Cambourne marks the beginning of a new chapter for British postal history, continuing a 170-year tradition.

Children from Vine Inter-Church Primary School posted the first letters in the new postbox.
The King's cypher includes his initial 'C', the Roman numeral III, and 'R' for Rex under a Tudor Crown.
Royal Mail's fleet of vehicles will also feature the new cypher, starting with 100 trucks.
The updated logo with the King's Tudor Crown will be applied only to new or replacement materials to avoid waste.
Scottish postboxes will continue using the St Andrews crown, maintaining a practice dating back to 1955.
