Two years after the Queen's death, the Metropolitan Police is still issuing uniforms with the old royal cypher to new recruits.
The Metropolitan Police is facing criticism over its failure to introduce new police uniforms to mark King Charles's reign.
It blames a cost-conscious Home Office for the approach - though the Home Office insists decisions on uniforms are made by police chiefs. Two years after the Queen's death, it is still issuing uniforms with the old royal cypher to new recruits Dai Davies, former head of royalty protection at Scotland Yard, said: 'All officers swear allegiance to King Charles, but how can you do that wearing the late Queen's cypher? It is bizarre.
When the King's Coronation was held in May last year, eyebrows were raised that officers policing the ceremony would continue to wear the 'E II R cypher' for the late Queen. This newspaper has also seen evidence of helmets issued to new recruits this year that still have the late Queen's cypher.
