The Legendary Seal of British Monarchy: King Charles III Reveals His Royal Symbol
Monarch Charles III unveils fresh emblem signifying his reign
Greetings, folks! Did you hear about King Charles III unveiling his majestic seal? It's a big 'ole tradition that's been around for a whopping thousand years - the royal seal!
King Charles, after anointing his throne, finally got his own symbol of power, and oh boy, did he have to smash it good and proper, Queen Lizzy's seal, to make it happen!
The newly introduced seal is none other than the "Great Seal of the Realm," and it'll be stamped on all the important state paperwork to let everyone know the king himself has given his royal nod of approval. The fam-jam at the Royal Family took it upon themselves to share the scoop on Instagram.
For the front, King Charles is all dressed up in his coronation robes, holding the orb and scepter, looking every bit royal and powerful. Flip it over, and you'll find the royal coat of arms, designed by the talented artist Timothy Noad.
According to Sky News, Charles gave his new insignia a thumbs-up this week. As per tradition, he should've whacked his mum, Queen Elizabeth II's, seal with a hammer to symbolically spell out the end of her reign. The queen's seal will be kept for historical reasons.
In a statement, they say it marks the final phase of the formal transition to the reign of His Majesty. This tradition of the royal seal has been around since the 11th century!
Charles took charge of the throne last September, following Queen Elizabeth II's departure at the ripe old age of 96. Her reign lasted a stunning 70 years, which led to two versions of her seal - one by English artist Gilbert Ledward in '53, and another by James Butler in '01.
Fun Facts:
