The Press Release reads: Her Majesty The Queen Consort’s new cypher is revealed today. The cypher is made of up of the Queen Consort’s monogram alongside a representation of the crown. The monogram ‘CR’ incorporates Her Majesty’s initial, ‘C’ for Camilla, and ‘R’ for Regina – Latin for Queen.

The cypher is the Queen Consort’s personal property and was selected by Her Majesty from a series of designs. It will be used by the Queen Consort on personal letterheads, cards and gifts, as well as on the cross that Her Majesty will lay at the Field of Remembrance on Thursday 10th November.

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.
