King Charles will reportedly break one of the late Queen's traditions when he commemorates his first Remembrance Sunday as monarch next week.
In the annual Remembrance ceremony on November 13, his Majesty will lay down a wreath at the Centopath in Central London. However the Mirror reports its design will have a different design to the one his mother would lay during he 70 year reign.
While Her Majesty's wreath featured around 90 poppies, the King's will reportedly display fewer, bigger flowers and will also feature a wide ribbon in his family racing colours - purple, yellow and gold.
The event was said to be of the utmost importance to the Queen and she only missed it a handful of times, mainly for medical reasons. The wreath was either laid by her personally or on her behalf by Charles in her later years.
In addition Queen Co nsort Camilla will have her own wreath designed for the first time which will be placed at the Cenotaph. However unlike Charles, she will reportedly not lay it herself, instead delegating the task an equerry while she watches from the balcony of the Foreign Office.
This follows the tradition of the Queen Mother, who would also watch proceedings from the balcony during the reign of her husband King George VI - the late Queen's father.
A joint wreath from the Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate will also be laid at the Cenotaph, with the ribbon on theirs reportedly in the colour "Wales red".
At last year's Remembrance ceremony, Charles led the Royal Family in laying wreaths at the Cenotaph in London just hours after it was announced the Queen would be unable to attend the event due to a sprained back.
The Queen, who died in September, only ever missed seven Remembrance Sunday events in her
