Queen Consort’s cypher features swirling swirling ‘CR’ monogram under a Crown
- Entwined letters on Queen Consort’s official cypher stand for Camilla Regina
- It was selected by Her Majesty and will be used on letterheads, cards and gifts
- Will be seen publicly for first time on cross she will lay at Remembrance service
The Queen Consort’s official cypher has been revealed for the first time, showing a swirling ‘CR’ monogram under a Crown.
The entwined letters stand for Camilla Regina – Latin for Queen.
Like Charles’s cypher, Camilla’s design is based on the Tudor crown but is more elaborate and stylised.
The cypher was selected by Her Majesty, 75, from a series of designs. It will be used by her on personal letterheads, cards and gifts.
It will be seen publicly for the first time on the cross that Her Majesty will lay at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey on Thursday.

The cypher was designed by Professor Ewan Clayton, a calligrapher on the Faculty and Academic Board of The Royal Drawing School, in collaboration with Timothy Noad, Herald Painter and Scrivener at The College of Arms.
It comes as Buckingham Palace started to send out thank you letters for the tens of thousands of messages of condolence sent in to mark the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in September.
The Queen Consort’s features a lovely picture with her late mother-in-law in a carriage – both women in matching shades of pale green and smiling broadly.

The message, which is hand-signed by Camilla, reads: ‘Thank you so much for writing to me after the death of my dear mother-in-law.
‘We are truly at the end of an era as we mourn Her late Majesty, whose entire life was devoted to the service of this country and the Commonwealth.
‘My husband and I were touched by your words of comfort.’
