EMBLEM

The official emblem created to commemorate the coronation, represents the four nations of the United Kingdom using flora – the rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, the daffodil for Wales, and the shamrock for Northern Ireland. Together, these combine to form the iconic St Edward’s Crown, which has been used for the coronation of British monarchs for centuries.

This stunning emblem was designed by Sir Jony Ive and his creative collective LoveFrom. As a symbol of this historic event, the Coronation emblem is free to download and use to mark the coronation of Their Majesties. However, it is important to note that the emblem should not be redrawn or re-constituted, and it is available for use until 31 December 2023.
