‘Rare’ King Charles III Royal Mail postbox in Worcester

The postbox, located on School Bank on Claines, is the first to bear the cypher of King Charles III in Worcester and is catching people’s attention.

Many older Royal Mail boxes have the cypher ER which means they were installed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. 

Royal Mail has confirmed that it is the first of its kind in the city. 

A Royal Mail spokesperson said: “We are proud to be installing the first King Charles III in Worcester.

“Over 115,000 postboxes throughout the UK have borne the symbols of successive monarchs since the first box displayed Queen Victoria’s cypher.

“We are grateful to His Majesty for allowing us to use his personal cypher as we embark on the next chapter of the iconic Great British postbox story across the UK.”
