Royal fans react to King Charles’ special tribute to Queen Elizabeth

King Charles laid a poppy wreath incorporating a ribbon of his racing colours as well with the design paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth and his grandfather George VI. On his outfit, the King paid his respects to his mother Queen Elizabeth as he wore the royal cypher for Queen Elizabeth on an epaulette around his shoulders.The gold-plated epaulette had the lettering ‘ER’ which stands for Elizabeth Regina, as ‘Regina’ means ‘Queen’ in Latin.The royal cypher for King Charles was unveiled after the period of mourning for Queen Elizabeth came to an end.King Charles’s cypher features his initial ‘C’ intertwined with the letter ‘R’ for ‘Rex’ which is Latin for ‘King’, with a crown above the letters.His Majesty’s royal symbol will begin to feature across Britain and British passports will be updated in the future due to the new monarch.However, postboxes will remain unchanged, and the Royal Mail said in a statement: “In line with past practice, following the death of a monarch all existing postboxes will remain unchanged. Postboxes already in production or being prepared for installation will also retain the insignia of Queen Elizabeth II.” Royal fans have reacted to King Charles’s special tribute to Queen Elizabeth (Image: Getty Images) He wore Queen Elizabeth’s royal cypher as a mark of respect (Image: Getty Images)On Instagram, the Royal Family’s social media account posted pictures of King Charles laying down the wreath, with a caption which read: ‘A Wreath is laid at the Cenotaph by His Majesty The King. This tradition was started by King George V in 1920, who unveiled the Cenotaph, and has been continued by every Monarch since.’Some royal fans were confused to see His Majesty wearing his mother’s symbol in the comments, and one fan asked ‘Interesting that the King’s coats epaulettes have the EiiR crest. Did anyone else notice this?’One commentator said: ‘Why has he not got his Royal Cypher on his shoulder and still using his moms?Other people also questioned the King’s choice and said: ‘I noticed His Majesty’s epaulettes still bear the insignia of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Is that temporary as a sort of memorial gesture following her passing? I’m assuming it wasn’t unintentional.’READ MORE: I’m A Celeb’s Mike Tindall’s blunt reaction to Meghan joining royals King Charles was accompanied by Prince William during his first Remembrance Sunday as monarch (Image: Getty Images)However, other royal fans were happy to see King Charles lead his first Remembrance Sunday.One user said: ‘Brilliant!
