Will he have Tudor crown on his livery?

WHEN Charles becomes King he is expected to put his own stamp on the reign by changing the designs of everything from post boxes to police officers’ uniforms.

The Royal insignia currently features the Queen’s ERII, for Elizabeth the second, left, with an image of the St Edward’s Crown.

Charles, however, is understood to prefer the simpler ‘Tudor Crown’ design, above left, where the sides of the crown fall straight down, rather than the more bulbous style which is so closely associated with his mother’s reign, the only one in living memory for most Britons today.

A return to use of the Tudor Crown would also be a fitting link to his grandfather, King George VI, who used the design during his 15 years on the Throne.
