Heraldry -- Great Britain
The labels of the other living Princes and Princesses to whom arms have
been assigned are as follows: and it should be noted that all these
various labels are Argent. The Princess Royal (Duchess of Fife) bears
over the Royal Arms a label of five points charged with three crosses
gules alternating with two thistles ppr.
The Princess Victoria differences her arms with a label of five points
charged with three roses alternately with two crosses gules.
The Princess Maud (Queen of Norway) bears a label of five points
charged with three hearts and two crosses gules.
The Duke of Connaught has a label of three points, charged on the
centre point with St. George’s Cross and on each of the others with a
fleur-de-lis Azure.
The Princess Christian, of Schleswig-Holstein, bears a label of three
points, the centre of which is charged with St. George’s Cross and each
of the others with a rose gules.
The Princess Louise (Duchess of Argyll) bears a label of three points,
the centre point charged with a rose, each of the others with a canton
gules.
The Princess Beatrice (Princess Henry of Battenberg) bears a label
of three points, the centre one charged with a heart and each of the
others with a rose.
In Royal Achievements the labels are charged on the crest and
supporters as well as the arms, and in these positions are usually
couped at the ends, though there is no reason why they should be so;
on the contrary, remembering that these figures are “in the round” it
would be preferable to follow the ancient usage.
A further distinction from the arms of the Sovereign is made by
substituting for the Imperial Crown, which is borne on the heads of the
lion crest and supporter and also encircles the throat of the unicorn,
the coronet which is proper to the personage concerned.
