    Kate's Coat of Arms

    A coat of arms has been created for Kate Middleton. The design released today incorporates an acorn sprig - one for each of the Middletons' three children - an idea suggested by Kate.

      The design released today incorporates an acorn sprig - one for each of the Middletons' three children - an idea suggested by Kate. The oak tree is a traditional symbol of England and strength, and is a feature of west Berkshire where the family have lived for more than 30 years.

      At the centre of the coat of arms is an inverted 'v' or chevron coloured gold which represents Kate's mother Carole Middleton whose maiden name was Goldsmith. Above and below this feature are white chevronels to symbolise peaks and mountains, reflecting the family's love of the Lake District and skiing. But there are no references to the ancestors of the Middletons.

      Thomas Woodcock, Garter Principal King of Arms, from the College of Arms in the City of London, sat down with Kate's parents to create the design which cost £4,400. He said: "It's not compulsory but as their daughter is marrying into the Royal Family she will have a need probably to use a coat of arms."
