The Consort has unveiled her new cypher which will feature on her personal letterheads, cards and gifts...Errrr Dont WITCHES have BLACK teeth?..  
The new cypher that will be used by the Queen Consort It was designed with the help of a monk
The monogram was created with the help of a former Benedictine monk who later worked in America's Silicon Valley.
It appears more ornate than the King's cypher, which is being used on Government buildings, state documents and new post boxes.
Selected from a series of designs, the cypher is the Queen Consort's personal property.
It is expected to be seen for the first time in public on Thursday when featured on the cross she will lay at Westminster Abbey's Field of Remembrance.
Ewan Clayton, professor of design at the University of Sunderland, helped create the design in collaboration with the artist behind Charles' monogram, Tim Noad, who is a heraldic artist and calligrapher at the College of Arms in London.
The Queen Consort's cypher features the initials “CR” below a representation of the Crown, incorporating C for Camilla intertwined with R for Regina – Latin for Queen.
Professor Clayton, who trained as a calligrapher, lived as a Benedictine monk at Worth Abbey in Sussex in the mid-1980s.
