Following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, King Charles acceded the throne. Since then, he has led the Royal Family, and started instigating some important changes within the institution. 2025 sees Charles differentiating himself from his late mother in a major way, as The King embarks upon "a new first," Hello! magazine reported.
As reported by the outlet, King Charles is leaving his mark on the world in a major way as "passports will feature his personal coat of arms" moving forward. "As well as the new emblem, the passports issued from December [2025] will be updated to include images of natural landscapes from across the four nations—Ben Nevis, the Lake District, Three Cliffs Bay, and the Giant's Causeway," the publication explained.
