In modern heraldry, a royal cypher is a monogram or monogram-like device of a country’s reigning sovereign, typically consisting of the initials of the monarch’s name and title, sometimes interwoven and often surmounted by a crown.
On 26 September 2022, Buckingham Palace unveiled the cypher of the new king, Charles III, that will gradually replace the cypher of Elizabeth II in everyday use. The design was selected by Charles from a series of designs prepared by the College of Arms and features the King’s initial “C” intertwined with the letter “R” for Rex with “III” denoting Charles III, with a Tudor Crown above the letters. Charles’s Scottish cypher uses the Scottish Crown instead.
Slow Changes
His new monogram will appear on government buildings and state documents, however, new bank notes with King Charles III’s face on them will be unveiled by the end of 2022, but won’t be in public circulation until mid-2024. All existing postboxes will remain unchanged and those already in production or being prepared for installation will also retain the insignia of Queen Elizabeth II. Once these have been installed, new postboxes will feature the cypher of King Charles III. The late Queen will also feature on four new memorial stamps, the first set to be approved by the King. On sale from November 10, they will feature four different portraits taken of Queen Elizabeth over the 70 years of her reign.
The Optus data leak saga gets weirder and weirder …
The alleged Optus hacker has made an unexpected announcement just hours after reportedly releasing 10,000 customer records as part of a ransom demand. On Tuesday morning, the alleged hacker, known only as Optusdata, claimed there were “too many eyes” on them and they had made the decision not to sell or leak any more data.
In the latest message, the person apologised to the Australians impacted by the data leak and said they couldn’t release more data even if they wanted to because they had “personally deleted data from drive”, which they claimed was the only copy.
The alleged hacker also offered their “deepest apology” to Optus, saying they “hope all goes well from this. Ransom not paid but we don’t care any more.”
The alleged hacker claimed it was a “mistake” to publish the data in the first place.
You will need to pay $10,000 if you want to view alleged fraudster Melissa Caddick’s home before auction.
The property at Wallangra Road in Dover Heights in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was listed for sale on Monday by auction house Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty.
To deter nosey neighbours and those following the most recent inquest developments, Sydney Sotheby’s will require a $10,000 refundable deposit before inspection.
Just hours after the house was listed, Sotheby’s estate agent Michael Pallier confirmed there were already prospective buyers booked in to pay the $10,000 required to inspect the home.
