Following his ascension to the throne on 24 September 2022, King Charles has used the Royal Standard at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Further flag developments are anticipated.

The design of the Royal Cypher of HM King Charles III of the United Kingdom
and of the Commonwealth Realms has just been revealed.

Importantly, unlike Queen
Elizabeth II which used St. Edward's Crown, the new Royal Cypher reverts to the
Tudor Crown, last used by King George VI. (Except in Scotland which continues to
use the Crown of Scotland.)
The most immediate flag change would be that
of Military Authorities Afloat which displays the
Royal Cypher. It is yet to be seen how the Royal Cypher on the personal flags of
the King in the Commonwealth Realms would look like, and if other flags
depicting the Crown would be changed as well.
