The
royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom
, or the
Royal Arms
for short, is the official
coat of arms
of the
British monarch
,
[1]
[2]
currently
Queen Elizabeth II
. These arms are used by the Queen in her official capacity as monarch of the
United Kingdom
. Variants of the Royal Arms are used by other members of the
British royal family
, by the
British Government
in connection with the administration and government of the country, and some courts and legislatures in a number of
Commonwealth realms
. In
Scotland
, there exists a separate version of the Royal Arms, a variant of which is used by the
Scotland Office
and the
Judiciary
. The arms in
banner form
serve as basis for the monarch's official flag, known as the
Royal Standard
.
In the standard variant used outside of Scotland, the shield is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure
flory-counterflory
of Scotland; and in the third, a
harp
for Ireland.
[3]
The
crest
is a
statant guardant lion
wearing the
St Edward's Crown
, himself on another representation of that crown. The
dexter
supporter
is a likewise crowned English lion; the sinister, a Scottish
unicorn
. According to legend a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast; therefore the heraldic unicorn is chained,
[4]
as were both supporting unicorns in the
royal coat of arms of Scotland
.
In the greenery below, a
thistle
,
Tudor rose
and
shamrock
are depicted, representing Scotland, England and Ireland respectively. This
armorial achievement
comprises the
motto
, in
French
, of
English monarchs
,
Dieu et mon Droit
(God and my Right), which has descended to the present
royal family
as well as the
Garter circlet
which surrounds the
shield
, inscribed with the
Order
's motto, in
French
,
Honi soit qui mal y pense
(Shame on him who thinks evil). The official
blazon
of the Royal Arms is:
Quarterly, first and fourth Gules three Lions passant gardant in pale Or armed and langued Azure (for England), second quarter Or a Lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory Gules (for Scotland), third quarter Azure a Harp Or stringed Argent (for Ireland), the whole surrounded by the Garter; for a Crest, upon the Royal helm the Imperial Crown Proper, thereon a Lion statant gardant Or imperially crowned Proper; Mantling Or and Ermine; for Supporters, dexter a Lion rampant gardant Or crowned as the Crest, sinister a Unicorn Argent armed, crined and unguled Proper, gorged with a Coronet Or composed of Crosses patées and Fleurs-de-lis a Chain affixed thereto passing between the forelegs and reflexed over the back also Or. Motto "Dieu et mon Droit" in the compartment below the shield, with the Union Rose, Shamrock and Thistle engrafted on the same stem.
