The Duchess of Sussex's coat of arms revealed

PA handout

The Duchess of Sussex is now the holder of a Coat of Arms which has been created for her following the royal’s marriage to Prince Harry last week.
The design of the Arms was agreed and approved by The Queen and Thomas Woodcock, the Garter King of Arms and Senior Herald in England.
Meghan worked closely with the College of Arms during the creation of her Coat of Arms in order to create a design that was both personal and representative.
According to the palace, the blue background of the shield represents the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, while the two golden rays across the shield are symbolic of the sunshine of The Duchess’s home state. The three quills represent communication and the power of words.
Beneath the shield on the grass sits a collection of golden poppies, California’s state flower, and wintersweet, which grows at Kensington Palace.
It is customary for Supporters of the shield to be assigned to Members of the Royal Family, and for wives of Members of the Royal Family to have one of their husband’s Supporters and one relating to themselves.
The Supporter relating to The Duchess of Sussex is a songbird with wings elevated as if flying and an open beak, which with the quill represents the power of communication.

Drat, I had a name picked out for a girl. I did guess correctly on the last two royal babies.

My guess is James.

Who woulda thought Archie? And not even Archibald, very interesting.
For a ginger, though, a perfect name.

Baby is very cute!

Too bad they went with a traditional name. I guess they didn't have much of a choice. You would think him being so far from the throne they could have let them pick a more modern name.

I'm sure it will grow on me when I start associating it with cute toddler pictures, but I hate the name!
