Could someone with the proper knowledge and access to reliable sources(read: Books) write how different heraldic authorities grant badges? How does the Scottish system of crestbadges work? Are badges part of heraldic tradition in some countrys other than those of the commonwealth? Junior Woodchuck 21:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The entry on Richard III is now corrected- it erroneously listed him as Duke of York, which he never was; he was Duke of Gloucester. His father was the Duke of York - and he was thus of the House of York. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.108.252.164 (talk) 20:48, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prince of Wales

"The Prince of Wales's feathers, which is the badge of the Prince of Wales."

The feathers are the symbol of the heir to the English - later British - throne. They are not the symbol of the Prince of Wales as such. You can be heir without being Prince of Wales. If someone else feels it reads as misleadingly as I think it does feel free to alter before I look back again. Alci12 13:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Ostrich feathers badge is indeed the badge of the Heir Apparent to the British throne, it just so happens at present that HRH the Prince of Wales is also the Heir Apparent however it doesn't mean it will always be the case. It is incorrect to call the badge the "Prince of Wales feathers"

I agree with the above statements. A source specific on this is Fox-Davies A Complete Guide to Heraldry. He gives the badge of the Prince of Wales to be an uncrowned dragon on a mount vert, in other words the Welsh dragon. He also describes the early Royal Badge of Wales, without shield or riband. - Parsa (talk) 18:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a technical misnomer, but it's pretty much the standard accepted name... AnonMoos (talk) 20:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded Stub - Re-assessment ?

Hi. I have expanded this Stub, to include all known "Royal Badges," from William Rufus to Queen Mary: Can this article now be re-assessed from "Stub." ? Stephen2nd (talk) 21:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Royal badges of British monarchs

Thanks, Sodacan. Obviously that's what I meant to do! —Tamfang (talk) 23:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
