As Prince of Wales, Charles's coat of arms was based on the arms of the United Kingdom, differenced with a white label and an [[inescutcheon]] of the Principality of Wales, surmounted by the heir apparent's crown, and with the motto {{lang|de|Ich dien}} ({{IPA|de|ɪç ˈdiːn|lang}}, "I serve") instead of ''Dieu et mon droit''.

When Charles became king, he inherited the royal coats of arms of the United Kingdom and of Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022 |title=Coats of Arms |url=https://www.royal.uk/coats-arms |access-date=18 May 2023 |website=The Royal Family |archive-date=22 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922084041/https://www.royal.uk/coats-arms |url-status=live }}</ref> The design of his royal cypher, featuring a depiction of the [[Tudor crown]] instead of [[St Edward's Crown]], was revealed on 27 September 2022. The College of Arms envisages that the Tudor crown will be used in new arms, uniforms and crown badges as they are replaced.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Royal Cypher |url=https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news-grants/news/item/205-royal-cypher |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927145228/https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news-grants/news/item/205-royal-cypher |archive-date=27 September 2022 |access-date=28 September 2022 |publisher=College of Arms}}</ref>
