But upon nearer inspection, it isn’t simply any brooch, neither is it simply any crown. The one the sovereign has determined to tug out of her huge jewellery field is a treasured one within the form of a Tudor crown, none apart from the image her husband, King Charles, selected to incorporate in his coat of arms when he ascended the throne, and which has since made its look in all places—from royal postmarks to the uniforms of the guards.

There are exactly two figures within the king’s monogram: C for “Charles” and R for “Rex,” which means “king” in Latin, encased inside the Tudor crown. On the time of his accession to the throne in 2022, King Charles’s alternative marked a break with the lengthy reign of his late mom. The coat of arms for Queen Elizabeth II as an alternative featured the solemn crown of St. Edward—in homage to Edward the Confessor, who was King of England from 1042 till his demise in 1066.
