Coat of arms of the Duke of Cambridge
Notes
Prince William was granted a personal coat of arms on his 18th birthday. It is based on the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, with a white (or silver) label with three points, the centre point bearing a red clam shell (an "escallop"), to distinguish it from the arms of other members of the Royal Family. The escallop is drawn from the Spencer coat of arms, a reference to his mother, who was the daughter of the Earl Spencer.[1]

Symbolism
As he is the grandchild of the sovereign, Harry's coat of arms displays a label of five points.[7] The escallops (seashells) allude to his mother Diana, Princess of Wales,[7] whose Spencer coat of arms includes three Escallops Argent. "When, in due course, Prince Harry becomes the son or brother of the monarch, his label will be reduced to three points. In that event, the two blank points will disappear, leaving three, each of them charged with a red escallop."[9]
