Meghan Markle is breaking British tradition once again. This time with her new coat of arms.
See the Coat of Arms of The Duchess of Sussex
According to Fox News, “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 — a nod to her former website, which was used as a forum to discuss social issues.”
See it below.
How does her Coat af Arms break tradition, you may be asking. The Coat of Arms is usually given to the bride’s father, but since he wasn’t able to attend the royal wedding, the honor was bestowed onto Markle.
