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.

It should feature a basketball and a star of David.

She is also now Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel.

Pretty good for a Hollyweirdo.

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

Are you sure it wasn't a Monty Python skit?

[WKUHilltopper]

A crow would have been better?

[jmcenanly]

Does she use Twitter much? If she is noted for tweeting, a sparrow would be appropriate.

[BunnySlippers]

No, and you could have looked it up yourself ...

Thanks for the source. Yes, I could’ve looked it up for myself. I was enjoying the humor that a real bureau is just as bizarre as Monty Python’s “Ministry of Silly Walks”.

I would have thought it would be more crass like a pair of hands being filled by a rain of cars, jewels and big screen tv’s, etc.

A little better official description here, including why the songbird (hers) and the lion (his).

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? That dove does look look scared, and being strangled with a crown around its neck...

Prince Harry had the lion with red nails before he met Meghan. :^) The left side of her coat of arms is based on his. This is Prince Harry's one -
