The design is centred on The Duke of Cambridge’s personal Coat of Arms given to him to mark his 18th birthday. The design is derived from his father’s Coat of Arms with elements from the heraldic badge used by his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. The Duke’s Coat of Arms has been updated to include a Blue Garter sash to symbolise his appointment as Knight of the Garter.
