Coat of Arms
Coat of Arms
Prince William was given a Coat of Arms to mark his 18th birthday. The design is derived from his father's Coat of Arms with elements from the Coat of Arms used by his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Prince William, as second in line to The Throne, is the only one of The Queen’s grandchildren who is granted a label of three points, which normally identifies the child of a monarch. Grandchildren are otherwise distinguished by labels with five points.
The escallop on Prince William's Coat of Arms is derived from the Spencer Coat of Arms which has been used by Prince William’s ancestors on his mother's side for many centuries.
