The emblem for King Charles’s coronation, created by former Apple designer Sir Jony Ive, has been unveiled.

The design guru created the insignia taking inspiration from His Majesty’s “love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world”.

Sir Jony – who is credited as the creative mind behind the iPhone – and his creative collective, LoveFrom, have produced the image to honour Charles’s reign.

It features a stylised image of the crown of St Edward, which will be used in the ceremony, created from the rose of England, thistle of Scotland, daffodil of Wales and the shamrock of Northern Ireland, in the red, white and blue of the Union flag.

Sir Jony said: “It is such an honour to be able to contribute to this remarkable national occasion, and our team is so very proud of this work.

“The design was inspired by King Charles’s love of the planet, nature, and his deep concern for the natural world.
