Cypher on Post Boxes Will Change

Our famous red postboxes? Those will change after the Queen's death, too. Currently, they all have an engraved cypher "E II R," which stands for Elizabeth II Regina ("queen" in Latin). When Charles becomes king, those will remain as they are, but any new postboxes installed will carry a cypher representing Charles's chosen regnal name and number.
