Kensington Palace unveiled a fresh photo of the Prince of Wales on his way to an event in Cardiff this week, sparking immediate attention from eagle-eyed royal enthusiasts.
Following the passing of his grandmother, the late Queen, and his father’s ascent to the throne, William assumed the title of Prince of Wales.
Despite this promotion, it appears that some adjustments are still necessary to align with his new royal status.
During a recent trip to Wales to inspect seaweed developments, the monarch was captured aboard a train, as shared in a social media post.
In the image, the Prince of Wales can be seen gazing out the window, accompanied by his phone and a red folder bearing a coronet atop a stylized ‘W,’ representing his personal royal monogram.
However, his updated position as heir presumptive has yet to be reflected in the official royal cipher.
Notably, XJerts Royals highlighted that the Prince of Wales often utilizes the coronet of a Prince of Wales infant as his emblem on official paperwork and stationery.
Speculation arose about the transition from the previous King’s insignias to those befitting his current role.
Some individuals expressed anticipation for the evolution of symbols and logos associated with the Prince of Wales, emphasizing the significance of aligning them with his rightful position.
Discussions ensued regarding the utilization of the Prince of Wales feathers, emblematic of Charles during his tenure, which may not be required by Prince George for a considerable period.
Family members of the Heir Jerts suggested that updating the coronet to the appropriate one would enable the Prince of Wales to maintain his distinctive monogram without causing confusion.
The proposed alteration from coronet to crown was deemed a subtle adjustment that might go unnoticed by many.
While the King introduced a new royal cipher following his coronation, the Prince of Wales’ monogram, featuring a crown atop his initial ‘C’ intertwined with an ‘R’ for Rex, signifying King in Latin, has yet to undergo modification.
This historical reference to monarchs dating back to the 12th century remains unchanged, with the intricate design incorporating the numeral ‘3’ within the ‘R.’
