Britain's Kensington Palace has given details of the newly created Coat of Arms for the former Meghan Markle — an honor which is accorded by tradition to the nobility. The Coat of Arms for the Duchess of Sussex, as she is now formally known, includes symbols that invoke the former actress' background and look to her future. It features a blue background that represents the Pacific Ocean and golden rays of sunshine reminiscent of California, her home state in America. The shield includes three quills, representing the power of words.

What a cheeky sense of humor someone has to make her a white bird.

Maybe the lion doesn’r have bloody claws-but if that is red nail polish, why isn’t it on a lioness, rather than a male lion-is he a trannie?

I think the lion is Harry, and the dove is Markle. He's pushing the trappings of royalty on her, and she's resisting because the crown is already choking her.

How festive!

Could be that-Harry does seem a little weird...

The "Meaning" of Coats of Arms
Cygnet: Where gorged with a crown
around its neck, signifies dignity
(but that's not a swan)
Dove: Loving constancy and peace
(is that a dove?)
Feathers: Obedience and serenity

Should include this...

[Chauncey Gardiner]

For a moment I thought the three quills symbolized her third marriage. Oh well.

[CodeToad]

Shouldn’t the bird be on its back??

[Yaelle]

How does that work? I heard here she had to give up her American citizenship. Why make her wait 3 years for any citizenship?

#5: "Obama already laid claim to magical unicorns, skittles and purple drank. "

Fried chicken, Newports, Colt 45, and watermelons are still available.
 

[Texan5]

“How festive!” Of course-and it is surely meant to predict of a bright and happy future, right?

[Cowboy Bob]

Shouldn’t it include a blackamoor?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#18: "the ginger lion is Harry. Maybe he enjoys painting his nails behind the palace gate."

Behind closed gates, all of today's young royal men enjoy dressing up in frilly underthings and prancing around like fairies.

It used to be when a man married a woman she also got her husband’s nationality.

That’s changed. She has to wait the required period of time and apply for citizenship.

[BunnySlippers]

BTW, there is an agency of the British government that makes up these crests. I saw a TV program about it years ago.

And ... I think the white bird should be leaning in a bit more. Just me ...

[COUNTrecount]

She’s. choking the chicken.

[SuperLuminal]

We might believe that this is an attempt at "Fake News Comedy"

[PAR35]

The three feathers represent the fact that she’s a featherweight, and the fact that it takes up only half of the shield indicates that she’s of mixed race. Also note that the bird is drawn in black and white for the most part, but with a lot more white than black, indicating an octroon. The red toenail and fingernail polish on the lion indicates that she has her claws out and will use them. The kung fu kick by the bird indicates a desire to take down traditional values.

"scared bird choked by a crown. "

Choked by discarded partially decomposed biodegradable jar. Stupid bird!

Now look. That skank is now Duchess of Sussex.

European nobility has historically been populated by persons of uncertain character. The tradition continues.
