- Symbolism
- The blue background of the shield represents the Pacific Ocean off
the California coast, while the two golden rays across the shield are
symbolic of the sunshine of the duchess's home state. The three quills
represent communication and the power of words. Beneath the shield on
the grass sits a collection of golden poppies, California's state
flower, and wintersweet, which grows at Kensington Palace. The songbird
with wings elevated as if flying and an open beak and the quills
represent the power of communication.
