Also all OR/Officer beret and cap badges, all signage that has the Queen’s crown, new photographs of the King to be issued to every unit - the list goes on and will be at significant cost.
No ATC crests should - we use an Astral Crown which isn’t specific to the monarch’s gender.
Hasnt got 5 years…?
Heart bleeds… 
Yeah. But how many are wrong!

When the old king died I thought the old and bold kept their King’s crown uniform until issued replacements? With some seeing it as a badge of experience, similar to very few KCs opting to move to QC.

I always thought that it wasn’t a king or queens crown - and it could be decided that the crown on the uniform doesn’t change…?
I don’t have a reliable source for this.

You are correct. The crowns are not gender dependent and several kings have used the St Edward’s crown on their cipher or coat of arms.
The “King’s” crown represents the Tudor/Imperial Crown and the “Queen’s” crown represents the St Edward’s Crown. Charles may think the St Edward’s crown is a better option.
The royal arms of Queen Victoria uses the Imperial Crown and the royal arms of William IV, her predecessor, uses the St Edward’s Crown.

Let’s not talk HM into an early grave.
She needs to make it another 3 weeks first!

There’s no way she’s going to go before Boris resigns. I guess that still means the 3 weeks isn’t guaranteed.

There is no “King’s Crown” vs “Queen’s Crown”.
The Monarch can choose which crown they wish to use. Where the Tudor Crown had previously been used, Elizabeth decided to go with the St Edward’s Crown.
Given the significant cost implications I wouldn’t be surprised if Charles is advised to stay with the St Edward’s.
EDIT I see that Goodegg and Talon got there before me… I really should recheck the page before posting after a spell away from the PC.

Looks like someone has given up waiting and asked the MOD Directly about Cadet staff being awarded the QPJM.
