The official logo for King Charles’s Coronation has been unveiled, with the floral design holding a lot of symbolism dear to the monarch’s heart. The King is known for his passion for the environment, but the flowers are also carefully chosen to represent his love for his country too.
The insignia features a blue crown surrounded by red flowers, with the words King Charles III, Coronation, 6 May 2023 going around it.
Amongst the flowers are a rose for England, a shamrock for Northern Ireland, a daffodil for Wales and a thistle for Scotland.
The shape of the flowers combine to form the design for St Edward’s Crown, the one which will be placed on the King’s head in Westminster Abbey.
The floral patterns were chosen by Jonny Ive, a British designer who once worked for Apple.
Mr Ive said his tem was inspired by “King Charles’ love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world.”
He said: “The emblem speaks to the happy optimism of spring and celebrates the beginning of this new Carolean era for the United Kingdom.
“The gentle modesty of these natural forms combine to define an emblem that acknowledges both the joyful and profound importance of this occasion.”
