On the monogram of the sovereign instead of the crown of St Edward as his mother had wanted, there is the crown of Henry VIII. As on that of George VI and George V
The Tudor crown for the Cypher, or the royal coat of arms of Charles III which from now on will mark every official act of the new sovereign. It was the first choice to make since in all the places of the kingdom linked to the British crown (starting from the Tower of London where the royal jewels rest in anticipation of the coronation and the official moments in the agenda of the sovereign) for days already they are removing the “old” signs.

And, in a surprise move, Charles chose to surmount his initial C and R for the royal role, with the Tudor crown dating back to the time of Henry VIII.. While Elizabeth II had broken with tradition by preferring that of St Edward, or the crown used in the coronation rite with the Stone of Scone in the millenary Westminster Abbey.
