Plenty of Victorian ones around where I live.

A very sexist comment.
I’m sure there were plenty of comment like that when every Queen came to the thrown. Why change from a King’s crown to a Queen’s crown 
Wait till he hears about the Royal Cypher changing on uniforms, post boxes etc as well
Erm looking at the cipher pictures by the daily mail showing the Kings Cipher - it just shows the one from King George VI, Charles would be Charles III, George VII or King Arthur I if he is feeling silly
The issue with changing the crown is that it would also apply to all the other realms (Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc) & would probably push them to into republics although it may be used as an opportunity to differentiate the crowns a little (so the king of Canada has a different crown to the King of GB)
I can’t find anything in the article regarding changing the crown.
It isn’t a king or queens crown. It is a Tudor or a St Edwards Crown - there is no male/female connotation other than by mistake.
He could very well choose to keep the St Edwards Crown.
If going back to a Tudor Crown I’ll wait until every button and badge is issued to me before I change them.

That’s how it works anyway!
Considering half the uniform I should have been issued has been beg, borrow, steal I don’t hold out much hope of rebadging.

Some of our items on Sqn are that old they are already there. There’s probably a couple of CcF(RAF) that have items floating about with the old crown on

I’ll hold on to the current crown as long as possible, eventually it will become a rarity.
Unless Wills switches back

In that case you haven’t read the article fully:
This newspaper also understands that Charles wishes to use a new design on the official insignia which appears on postboxes and police officers’ uniforms – choosing the simpler Tudor Crown to replace the current St Edward’s design.

I wasn’t referring just to us… Every military and governmental organization which currently uses the St Edwards crown will change. That’s a lot of buttons, cap badges, emblems, vehicle livery, &c which in turn requires a lot of alterations to supply contacts, significant man hours to convert…
…and the award for silly comment of the day goes to…

if we switch back to the “Kings” rather than “Queens” crown, theres a really good chance that these have been factored into plans for a while and stocks a plenty are already held.
Brilliant.

That is the Daily Fail though. They might be correct, but I wouldn’t worry too much until it is officially announced.

I did feel dirty clicking the link. Hadn’t spotted it was the Daily Heil
Some Police Forces have theirs already dished out. Others haven’t heard a peep.

So the MoD has had a large stock since 1952 and has been lobbying ever since to get them used up? 
Wouldn’t surprise me that there’s a warehouse somewhere filled with the like hence showing on inventory. Finding the warehouse where they stored them however

Finding a blanket stacker willing to hand them out is another…
“Give you them? No chance, what happens if I need them?”
