Arms of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh T-Shirt Design
This striking design presents the heraldic achievement of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, a captivating visual representation of her lineage, titles, and honors.
The Shield: A Union of Two Worlds
The central element is the escutcheon, or shield, which is “impaled,” split vertically to showcase both her and her husband's heraldry. On the dexter (left from the viewer’s perspective) side, the Royal Arms are subtly referenced, differenced by a label featuring a Tudor rose, representing her husband, Prince Edward. The sinister (right) side of the shield bears the arms of the Rhys-Jones family. It is “quarterly gules and azure, a lion rampant regardant, within an orle or” showing a golden lion, with its Welsh heritage and ancestor, Elystan Glodrudd, Prince of Ferrig, being represented.
Augmentation & Orders
Above the shield, in “chief,” the badge of the Order of St John is prominently displayed, signifying her status as a Dame Grand Cross. Around the shield is the circlet of the Royal Victorian Order, and optionally, the insignia of her GCVO (Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order) may be suspended below the shield, these honors are testaments to her service.
Supporting Figures: Guardians of Identity
The shield is flanked by majestic supporters. On the dexter, a golden lion rampant guardant, crowned with the Duchess' coronet, stands in regal defense. The lion is derived from the Royal Arms. On the sinister side, a wyvern, an azure dragon, wearing a coronet and a golden chain, symbolizes Wessex and her titles. These symbolic creatures guard the shield, visually representing and reinforcing the message of the shield.
A Royal Crown
Atop the shield, a coronet, specifically used by children of the sovereign, signifies her familial connections and royal status.
Motto: A Declaration of Loyalty
Below the shield, the Welsh motto “CAS GŴR NI CHÂR Y WLAD A'I MACO” (approximately, "Hateful the man who loves not the country that nurtured him") proclaims her allegiance and love for her nation.
