Coat of Arms of Prince William of Wales 2000-2008 Hoodie - Design
This hoodie showcases the Coat of Arms officially granted to Prince William of Wales in June 2000, and used until 2008. The design is a vibrant representation of British heraldry, rich with symbolism and historical significance.
The Shield (Escutcheon)
The central element is the shield, quartered to display the emblems of the United Kingdom. The first and fourth quarters feature three gold lions passant guardant on a red background, representing England. The second quarter displays a red lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory on a gold field, symbolizing Scotland. The third quarter features a gold harp with silver strings on a blue background, representing Ireland.
Overlaid on this is a white three-pointed label, a standard mark of cadency for a prince in the British royal family. On the central point, a small red escallop shell is placed, a personal touch representing Prince William's connection to his maternal family, the Spencers.
Crest, Supporters & Heraldic Elements
The shield is topped with the coronet appropriate for “a child of the Heir Apparent.” Above this rests the crest: a gold lion statant guardant, crowned with the same coronet, and charged with the same white three-pointed label as the shield.
The shield is flanked by two supporters: a gold lion guardant on the dexter (left) side and a silver/white unicorn on the sinister (right) side. Both supporters are also crowned with the appropriate coronet and charged on the shoulder with the distinguishing white three-point label from the arms. The unicorn is armed, crined, and unguled in natural colours, and wears a gold coronet around its neck, with a gold chain passing between its forelegs and over its back.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design is a direct visual representation of the United Kingdom, through the inclusion of the English lions, the Scottish lion rampant, and the Irish harp. The use of the label and escallop shell offer a personal and differentiating touch, marking this as the specific arms for Prince William of Wales during the stated time period. The inclusion of the crown in the crest and supporters reinforces the royal lineage.
