King Charles III has worn his brand new royal cypher for the very first time. His Majesty was formally proclaimed monarch at the Accession Council on Saturday morning after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday after a remarkable 70 years on the throne.
The former Prince of Wales automatically became King once his mother passed away but the Accession Council was called as soon as possible to make it official - and he marked the historic occassion by debuting a special symbol that will start to appear on things we use every day such as coins, stamps and postboxes.
