The official emblem that will be used for the celebrations to accompany the coronation of Britain’s King Charles in May was unveiled on Friday, with the design giving a nod to the monarch’s many years of environmental campaigning.

The emblem features flora from all the four nations that make up the United Kingdom – the rose of England, thistle of Scotland, daffodil of Wales and shamrock of Northern Ireland, which was a tribute to Charles’s love of nature, Buckingham Palace said.

It was also designed to use the red, white and blue colours of the Union flag.

“The design was inspired by King Charles’ love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world,” said the designer, former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive.
