Postbox decorated to celebrate Coronation of King Charles painted back to its original red after criticism
The Cardiff postbox was targeted with anti-monarchy messages in part due to its location outside the Owain Glyndwr pub - named after the last native Welsh person to hold the title Prince of Wales.The coronation postbox outside of the Owain Glyndwr pub was plastered in Welsh independence stickers
Today, the Welsh postbox appears to be the only one of the special four to have been returned to its former glory.The three boxes in London, Edinburgh and Royal Hillsborough in Northern Ireland remain red white and blue, despite the postbox in Edinburgh's Royal Mile also being targeted by some anti royalist stickers and graffiti.The Royal Mail have said that they intend to revert all four post boxes to their original colour.
However this differs from the statement issued days ahead of the coronation by the UK culture secretary.
