LONDON — Kensington Palace has given details of the newly created coat of arms for the former Meghan Markle – an honor 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’s background.
It features a blue background that represents the Pacific Ocean and golden rays of sunshine reminiscent of California, her home state. The shield includes three quills representing the power of words – a nod to her former website, which was used as a forum to discuss social issues.
A collection of golden poppies, California’s state flower, sit on the grass beneath the shield together with wintersweet, which grows at Kensington Palace.
