The Curious Case of the Missing Personal Coats of Arms...
The four Consorts in question are:
- HM Queen Sonja of Norway
- HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Noway
- HRH Grand Duchess Maria-Theresa of Luxembourg
- HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco
Princess Charlene does not seem to make use of any Coat of Arms at all. She has a monogram and, like many of the Scandinavian royalty, makes more use of that. A rendering of a Coat of Arms exists online, but that, as with a similar rendering of a Coat of Arms for Princess Grace (whose 91st Birthday Anniversary it was yesterday), appears to be more based on a 'bucketshop' Shield for her surname rather than anything official. The Monegasque Palace Office has not been forthcoming with any response on the matter |
