A good reference for the new KC cap badges.
The page even shows some new dies have already been made. Looks like Life Guards and Small Arms School in there.

A couple of the usual ebay sellers had fake RAF KC badges renamed to King Charles badges as soon as the Queen's death was announced, they don't miss a trick.

I like the cypher, particularly the LG version wherein the ends of the R extend into the circlet. "Brill" as you would say!

I posted this information on the other (currently) two threads on this subject:
To equip the British Army with the new King’s devices (crowns and cyphers) will require changes to over 1,500 individual items (as codified by NSN). This will cover cap badges, collar badges, rank badges, qualification badges and buttons etc. Design, approval, manufacture and issue of all the items is likely to take at least two years. As usual, replacements should not be issued until “existing stocks are exhausted”. So a mix of crowns might be seen for some time. Priority for issue of new badges will be to personnel taking part in Coronation events. Tim
